Galvin Ray
Ray Galvin has an interdisciplinary background in engineering, social psychology, theology, climate change science, and environmental policy. He was educated at the Universities of Auckland and Otago in New Zealand, and Cambridge and East Anglia in the UK. Currently he does research and teaching for Cambridge University and RWTH-Aachen University, Germany. He is Senior Associate Editor of the journal Energy Research & Social Science, and an Expert Evaluator for European Commission research projects. In recent years he has published extensively on policy, economic and behavioural issues to do with the energy transition toward a low carbon economy. These include: upgrading the energy efficiency of the residential housing stock; energy efficiency in road transport; energy consumption in computer technology and the internet; technical, economic and behavioural issues in renewable energy; energy poverty issues in Europe; and the effects of government fiscal policy on access to energy, especially among low-income households. His work includes investigating rebound effects in energy efficiency, and together with a Cambridge colleague he introduced the notion of “prebound effects.” Dr Galvin uses both qualitative and quantitative research methods, ranging from small-sample semi-structured interviews to large database analysis. He also brings a critical approach, from the philosophy of science, to research in energy and economic issues. His most cited publications include an early critique of Germany’s policy on energy efficiency upgrades of existing homes; a mathematical guide for estimating “how many interviews are enough” in qualitative research; and an analysis of the US “Green New Deal” policy proposal. Recently he has extended his research and publications to explore how fiscal policy could be better used to enable poorer households to access low carbon energy services, and to bring about a more even distribution of political power in developing the energy transition.
