Background

Dr Bilous’s research focuses on the management of renewable energy resources and technologies as key drivers of regional and economic development within the energy transition. Her doctoral research examined energy resource management, energy efficiency and technological factors influencing regional competitiveness, investment attractiveness and long-term sustainable growth, with particular attention to the role of innovation and energy systems structure.

Her recent work centres on renewable energy systems and hydrogen technologies, including comparative analysis of hydrogen projects in Europe and Australia. She holds Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy and has been a British Academy–CARA Fellow. Her research applies energy-economic and systems-based approaches to understanding how renewable energy resources and emerging technologies contribute to resilient, low-carbon energy systems.
