Biography
Adrian has a first degree in Mechanical Engineering (Bristol), a Masters degree
in Environmental Technology (Imperial College, London), and a DPhil in Science
& Technology Policy Studies (Sussex). He speaks English and Spanish.
Research
Adrian is a member of the STEPS Centre (Social, Technological and Environmental Pathways to Sustainability) and the Sussex Energy Group.
The majority of the research carried out by Dr Adrian Smith falls into one of two, related areas: critical analysis of environmental policy processes; and research into relationships between technology and sustainable development. Adrian has research experience in a variety of policy areas, including climate, energy, water and industrial pollution; a number of industrial sectors, such as the renewable energy, chemicals, and paper industry sectors. He has also researched different social arenas, such as the alternative technology movement. Research projects have covered regional, national, European, and global levels; developed and developing country settings. Analysis tends to be interdisciplinary, drawing upon theoretical frameworks from a variety of disciplines, including political science and social studies of technology. Different qualitative and quantitative research methods are used as appropriate.
Adrian's work spans the range of activities from academic investigation to consultancy advice. This work has been funded by many organisations in the UK and overseas, such as the Economic and Social Research Council, the Environment Agency, the Department of the Environment, the Department of Trade and Industry, the European Commission, the Sustainable Development Commission, the Institute for Prospective Technology Studies in Spain, the German Environment Ministry, and the German Ministry for Education and Research. This work has been presented at national and international conferences and workshops. Adrian is a member of the Editorial Board for two journals - Sustainable Development, and Revista Theomai: Estudios Sobre Sociedad, Naturaleza y Desarrollo - and he regularly contributes book reviews to the journal Environmental Politics.
Teaching
Adrian contributes classes to the SPRU MSc in Sciene, Technology and Sustainability. He is also involved in Doctoral supervision.Publications
