Nesta is a research and innovation foundation. We apply our deep expertise in applied methods to design, test and scale solutions to some of the biggest challenges of our time, working across the innovation lifecycle.
Mission manager, sustainable future mission
Shaan is a mission manager in the sustainable future team.
Most recently, he led the team’s work on the Heat Pump Installer Survey, which investigated the challenges heating engineers face in increasing heat pump installations. Shaan has also worked on developing a heat pump information website for homeowners, conducted a randomised controlled trial to understand the impact of reducing boiler flow temperatures on gas use and household comfort, and carried out research to support the Money Saving Boiler Challenge. Before joining Nesta, Shaan worked at Friends of the Earth for almost five years. He worked as a Campaign Officer and, later, as a Digital Mobilisation Officer. Shaan holds a BSc in Psychology from the University of Warwick and an MSc in Environmental Sustainability from the University of Edinburgh. When not at work he enjoys noodling around on the guitar, yoga, photography, and exploring the outdoors.
We extend our impact through two specialised units that help people and organisations to solve complex problems and achieve their goals.
BIT helps clients from government, nonprofits and the private sector to improve people’s lives through our empirical problem solving and deep understanding of human behaviour.
Challenge Works designs and runs challenge prizes to spark innovation in science, technology and society.
