Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhilip Sargent is an engineer based in Cambridge with 12 years of experience bridging materials science and energy policy through hands-on modelling and software development. Trained to PhD level in Materials Science at the University of Cambridge, he has applied deep technical knowledge to high-tech ceramics and superconductors before shifting focus to energy system modelling, hydrogen networks and bioenergy carbon accounting. He currently develops public-facing models for UK energy futures at Cambridge Energy and is contracted to BEIS to explore pathways to meet Paris climate targets, while also supporting evidence-based policy at DECC. A practical problem-solver and entrepreneur who runs Klebos Ltd., he combines academic rigour with product-minded delivery—often translating complex physical science into usable software and policy tools. An uncommon strength is his ability to move between lab-scale materials research and national-scale system modelling, making technical choices that are both scientifically sound and policy-relevant.
