Anna Korre is Professor of Environmental Engineering and has been Co-Director of Energy Futures Lab at Imperial, the College’s energy institute between Sept. 2018 and Aug. 2024. Anna also heads the Minerals Energy and Environmental Engineering Research Group, developing engineering solutions to the supply of clean energy, the sustainable production of natural resources, and mitigating environmental impacts and risks. Her research focus is in the areas of modelling risk and uncertainty and assessing the environmental and life cycle impacts of engineering systems.

She has led several multi-million international and multidisciplinary projects funded by industry, UKRI, DESNZ/BEIS, The Crown Estate and EU developing engineering tools and carrying out environmental, ecological and human health studies to assess and minimise the impacts of the minerals and energy industries in terms of operational performance, environmental footprint and cost.

Anna has been a member of the University's Sustainability Strategy Committee (while at Energy Futures Lab), the Faculty of Engineering Sustainability Committee and chairs the Earth Science and Engineering Sustainability Committee.

Can find out more about Anna's work and impact on the community and sustainability for industry all around the world looking through the research projects and her publications, the three videos below and the podcast of her interview for The Life Scientific with Jim Al Khalili on Capturing Carbon Dioxide and defying Expectations in September 2024.
