Professor Krumdieck is Chair in Energy Transition Engineering at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland where she is offering a range of education and international online training, and leads the Transition Engineering Labs Research of the Islands Centre for Net Zero. The ICNZ was announced in 2021 with £33M in core and matching funding to realise transition to climate-safe energy in the Scottish Islands by 2030. Before taking the position in Scotland, Susan made major contributions in energy transition engineering research and was active in support of industry, local and central government, and communities through her Advanced Energy and Material Systems Lab research group.
Susan is the co-founder and a Trustee of the Global Association for Transition Engineering (GATE). Transition Engineering is an emerging transdiscipline that, like Safety Engineering, has straight-forward methods and tools for duty of care in meeting sustainability objectives and dealing positively with wicked problems in all sectors. Susan has more than 160 peer reviewed publications, and her book Transition Engineering, Building a Sustainable Future (CRC Press, 2020) has received great reviews and sold more than 40,000 copies.
Transition Engineering is growing rapidly with more than 20 PhDs, 500+ engineers completing the training courses, thousands of people from all backgrounds completing on-line microcredentials at University of Canterbury in New Zealand, and a new Masters and research centre at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland. Susan’s pioneering research over 25 years has provided insight, fundamentals of engineering whole systems transitions, and innovations in data observatories and engineering tools for transition of personal and freight transport and energy. She is probably most well-known for providing frank and politically agnostic information about technology or energy problems and options.
