Committee 2025/26
We are a team coming together from various departments at the University of Cambridge, all united in our interest to make the energy transition a reality.


Blake Robinson
President
Blake is a second year Engineering undergraduate at Jesus College. His academic interests include hydrogen-derived alternate fuels for aviation; decarbonisation of goods transportation; and the opportunities presented by the largely untapped potential of alternate marine energy sources. Beyond his academic study he’s building a biofuel powered sports car and enjoys tinkering with electronics.

Will Thomas
Speakers Officer
Will is a 4th year Natural Sciences undergraduate studying materials science at Pembroke College. He is particularly interested in applying materials science to clean energy technologies to assist the energy transition. Outside of studying, he enjoys anything outdoors including running, hiking, camping and football.

Asa Briggs
Junior Treasurer
Asa joined the Department of Engineering as a PhD student in 2026, having completed an MPhil in Nuclear Energy the previous year. Prior to that, he was a software engineer after completing an MA in Natural Sciences. He is interested in the role of nuclear power in the energy system of the future, and is the founder of nuclear energy startup RotiFe Energy. Outside of studying, Asa enjoys photography, hiking, and railways.

Sienna Bassi
Speakers Officer
Sienna is a second year Engineering undergraduate at Emmanuel College. Her spark for Engineering was ignited upon uncovering the clean energy generation challenge and her enthusiasm for energy tech has only grown since then. She is particularly interested in thermal energy storage and optimizing photovoltaic efficiencies. Outside of engineering, Sienna enjoys immersing in the politics behind the energy transition and is in the Energy Working Group of the UNFCCC Youth constituency.

Abi Falkous
Secretary
Abi is a third year Physical Natural Sciences Student specialising in Chemistry.
From the moment she first learnt about solar panels in primary school, she has been fascinated by renewable energy and hopes to spend her career in energy technology research and development. She will be continuing her role on the CUETS committee this year as Secretary and is very excited for the year to come!

Sahil Lowalekar
Marketing & Communications Officer
Sahil is a second-year Engineering undergraduate at Queens’ College, Cambridge. He has a particular interest in energy transition methods and the efficient implementation of nuclear technologies. He has previously worked with Queens’ to optimise its energy efficiency and mitigate carbon use through predictive thermal modelling. Beyond academics, he enjoys sports such as tennis, badminton and volleyball, as well as playing the piano.
