Profile

Tommy graduated from The University of Sheffield with an MPhys degree in Physics in 2012. He then spent a number of years working in industry before returning to the University as Lab Manager for the Blast and Impact Dynamics Group's research lab in Buxton. He is responsible for day to day running of the lab, working closely with industry partners to deliver complex research projects and testing regimes in a safe environment.

Beginning in 2019, Tommy is also currently studying for a PhD looking to understand the effects different soil conditions have on the loading due to a buried charge.

Research interests

PhD Research Project: Understanding the threat posed by buried charges in different operating environments

This work aims to investigate the risk posed by buried charges in both the littoral and subarctic environment, and combine this with existing data to widen the knowledge of the affect geotechnical conditions have on the loading from a buried charge.
