Chell’s doctoral research examines the role of public financial institutions which leverage private finance in the transition to net zero emissions, with a particular focus on public green banks. She was formerly a Climate Change Research Fellow in the Lowy Institute’s Indo Pacific Development Centre where her research focused on the intersections between climate finance, geoeconomics and climate justice.

Prior to commencing her Sir Roland Wilson scholarship, Chell was seconded to the ANU as the inaugural JW Land Research Fellow on the Grand Challenge on Zero Carbon Energy in the Asia Pacific, examining multilateral efforts to accelerate cross-border electricity trade within ASEAN. She has previously worked on international climate change negotiations, (including for the UNFCCC, G20 and IMO), Australia’s emissions projections, and carbon price development.

In 2017 she was selected as an Emerging Leader in the EU-Australia Leadership dialogue. In 2015, she was part of the winning team in the cross-cultural business accelerator CAMP and was invited to participate in the Beijing government’s OTEC accelerator and the Australian Government’s CSIRO:On business incubator. Chell has a Masters degree in Public Policy and an Honours degree in Media and Communications, both from the University of New South Wales.
