Meet the people who make up STEM Faculty.
Professor Stephen Potter is Emeritus Professor of Transport Strategy. He is a member of the Future Urban Environments research group in the School of Engineering and Innovation.
His research has included exploring the human and institutional aspects of transport innovation, the diffusion of cleaner vehicle technologies, low carbon transport systems and more sustainable travel behaviours. He has played a key role in developing the University’s links with the Milton Keynes Low Carbon and Smart City programmes. He co-ordinated the University's contribution in the Milton Keynes Electric Vehicle project that successfully bid for a grant under the Plugged in Places programme to develop public electric car charging infrastructure and was acknowledged in the Milton Keynes Low Carbon Prospectus. He led the OU team contributing to the £16m smart grids Project Falcon with Western Power Distribution and also led the University's transport work in the £16m HEFCE funded MK:SMART. He is presently part of an industry-led £3m Innovate UK project exploring the viability of on-street wireless charging infrastructure for EVs.
His teaching contributions include writing for T 317 Innovation: designing for change, T219 Environmental Management, U116 Environment: journeys through a changing world and TB801Technology and Innovation Management.
