Tom read Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge, studying chemistry and physics before specialising in Materials Science with areas of study including: thin films, energy harvesting, thermodynamics, biomedical materials, materials for optoelectronic devices, and nuclear materials. Tom’s Master’s project involved the study and construction of sustainable composite structures for use in magnetoelectric energy harvesting devices and free standing thin films for use in such devices.
Tom completed an internship at Cambridge Nanosystems, a UK leader in commercial graphene technology and also carried out a placement at the University of Göttingen in Germany where he researched avalanche dynamics in metallic glasses.
Tom joined Keltie after graduating in 2018. Since joining Keltie, Tom has worked mainly in the Engineering team, dealing with a range of subject matter including automotive technology, renewable energy, marine structures, medical devices and glass processing and working with a range of clients from individuals to SMEs and multinational corporations.

How patents can help agri-tech companies explore new marketsAgricultural innovation, often termed agri-tech or agtech is critical to the future of farming. From genetically modified plants and foods to sensors and robots, new technologies will drive improved productivity and sustainability. With the world’s population expected to grow by 20% in the next 25 years, and food demand due to increase by 56% in 2050 compared to 2013, agri-tech innovation will help ensure there is enough food while maintaining the Earth’s resources and dealing with the impact of climate change.
