Policy Forum - people
Forum members are a multidisciplinary community of senior academics contributing evidence and expertise to public policies for the transition to a sustainable, inclusive, and resilient net zero society.
Professor Emily Shuckburgh is Director of the Cambridge Zero initiative and Professor of Environmental Data Science at the Department of Computer Science and Technology. She is a mathematician and climate scientist and a Fellow of Darwin College, a Fellow of the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, an Associate Fellow of the Centre for Science and Policy and a Fellow of the British Antarctic Survey. She leads the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training on the Application of AI to the study of Environmental Risks (AI4ER).
Dr Rob Doubleday has been Executive Director of CSaP since September 2012. His research interests include the role of science, evidence and expertise in contemporary societies, in particular the relationship between scientific advice, public policy and democracy. His research develops collaborative methods of working with scientists and engineers on the public policy dimensions of their research.

David MacKay Research Associates 2022
Darwin College and Cambridge Zero David MacKay Research Associates have the opportunity to engage with and benefit from the Cambridge Zero Policy Forum.
Dr Alex Bradley is an ICE/Ocean Modeller at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). His research focusses on how the Greenland and Antarctic ice shelves interact with the oceans around them and the societal consequences of this, particularly with regards to sea level rise.
Dr Si Chen is a Research Associate at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. His work focuses on developing a mathematical model for the interaction between kelp and its physical and biogeochemical environment. The project aims to quantify the potential for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and sequestration through ocean reforestation.
Dr Monika Kreitmair is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Department of Engineering. Her research explores the impact of underground infrastructure on the thermal climate of the subsurface and further ramifications on the potential of geothermal energy structures for provision of heating and cooling in cities.
