Previously, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Universities of Bath and Cambridge, and in engineering consultancy with White Young Green and Adams Kara Taylor, involved in civil and structural engineering design for projects ranging from a new sea lock in Swansea to the Masdar Institute building with Foster and Partners in Abu Dhabi. He studied for his PhD at the University of Bath in the BRE Centre for Innovative Construction Materials. He then worked as Postdoctoral Research Associate on the Leverhulme Trust sponsored Natural Material Innovation project at the University of Cambridge. Tom has been a chartered member of the Institution of Civil Engineers since 2010. Academic Qualifications MEng Engineering Science (First Class), University of Oxford 2005PhD University of Bath 2013PGCert Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, University of Cambridge 2017 Professional Qualifications and Memberships Tom has been a Chartered Engineer and Member of the Institution of Civil Engineers since 2010 Teaching Tom teaches structural mechanics, engineering materials and design courses. Research Interests Tom researches the use of wood and bamboo in structures, structural sensing and structural dynamics.In wood and bamboo, he is interested in connection performance, including the stiffness and strength of dowel-type timber connections, and carpentry connections, including those made by computer numerical control (CNC) fabrication.In structural sensing and structural dynamics, Tom is interested in what designers can learn by putting sensors on structures and measuring how they move under everyday loads.
