Henrique Lagoeiro

Henrique is a postgraduate researcher at London South Bank University, where he is engaged in studying how waste heat recovery from the London Underground can become a key tool to transform the energy sector in London towards a low carbon and cost-effective future, helping to tackle climate change and fuel poverty within the city. Having worked in the construction industry and the public sector in Brazil, Henrique has always seen his role as an engineer closely linked to reducing inequalities and making cities more liveable. With that in mind, he was selected by NGO Vetor Brasil to work for the local government of Niterói, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, where he led projects focused on using technology to make the city smarter, greener, and more efficient. This experience made it clear the career path Henrique wants to follow: helping cities unlock their potential for a smart energy future.
