- Senior Lecturer and Horizon Fellow, School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Sydney
Lee White is a Horizon Fellow at the University of Sydney. She focuses on energy transition regulation and governance for climate change mitigation, including equity aspects of the energy system that must be addressed to achieve sustainability. Prior to joining the University of Sydney, she was a Fellow with the Australian National University’s Zero Carbon Energy for the Asia-Pacific Grand Challenge. Dr White’s research has contributed to debates on distributional impacts of policies for energy transition, and to visibility of differences in legal protections for electricity consumers across Australia.
