Thomas Counsell
Hello. Since January 2010 I have been an assistant to David MacKay, the Chief Scientific Advisor at the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). I have spent a lot of my time helping the team working on possible ways for the UK energy system could look in 2050. Since January 2012 I have been in charge of a newly formed central engineering team, under David MacKay.
For the first year of my time at DECC I was seconded from the Carbon Trust. I worked for them from October 2007 in the Insights team, which meant I worked on publications that they produced on tricky climate change topics and helped them figure out how to improve what the Carbon Trust did.
Before that I was studying for a PhD at Clare College, Cambridge University. My research was with the Production Processes Group of the Manufacturing Division of the Engineering Department. My supervisor was Julian Allwood. I was also the teaching assistant on the Manufacturing Engineering Tripos course.
