Professor David MacKay appointed as the first Regius Professor of Engineering at the University
of Cambridge.
|
|
We are delighted to congratulate David Mackay, a Fellow of the College since 1992 and
a Professorial Fellow since 2003. Elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2009, he was
also appointed Chief Scientific Advisor to the UK Government's Department of Energy and
Climate Change in that year.
The Regius Professor of Engineering is a new Regius Chair, announced in 2011 to mark the
Duke of Edinburgh's 34 years as Chancellor of the University. The new post is intended to
provide an outstanding academic with the opportunity to build on the world-leading research
at the Department of Engineering in fields that address major, global challenges. These
include: creating lasting energy solutions, building cities in the future, managing risks, and
driving innovation. David's recent reputation has been marked as a leading scientist and
thinker on sustainability and responses to climate change and, in particular, as the author of
the critically acclaimed book, "Sustainable Energy - Without The Hot Air"
Professor MacKay took up his Regius Professorship on March 29, and continues in parallel as
Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK Government's Department of Energy and Climate Change,
a post which is due to run until the autumn of 2014.

and continues to be a very active honorary fellow.
