Jack Morewood

I work as a Business Research Fellow as part of the Good Growth Entrepreneurial Futures Project, which is funded through the Cornwall & Isles of Scilly (IoS) Good Growth Fund and is based within the Net-Zero Exchange. My role focusses on building upon existing built environment knowledge and working with different stakeholders to develop new partnerships.

My research interests centre around data-driven decision support to plan, deliver and evaluate buildings. I am particularly interested in applying powerful building energy models, including simulation, and quantifying uncertainty so that we can confidently meet performance targets.

Before returning to the university in April 2024, I have held a number of roles in the South West and South Wales. In 2019 I graduated from the University of Exeter in Mathematics, followed by the High Performance Buildings Masters programme at the University of Plymouth in 2020. I held a Research Assistant role on the prestigious Innovate UK SMART Grant project Hospital Operations for Sustainable Productivity (HOSP) at the University of Plymouth. I then worked in industry in a mathematical modeller role, supporting the decarbonisation of surgical services and productivity of operating theatres. Many lessons learnt from non-domestic buildings pave the way forward for making decisions about domestic buildings. I then held an academic research role for two years at the Welsh School of Architecture in the Centre for a Low Carbon Built Environment. During this time, I began a PhD in Architecture at the Welsh School of Architecture on a part-time basis.
