Thomas Scone

Thomas joined Cerberus Nuclear as a radiation shielding consultant after working as a Teaching Fellow for the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Birmingham, for over 2 and a half years. His PhD research covered the statistical analysis of large gait data sets and the modelling of magnetic fluids for soft robotic gait rehabilitation. The research involved designing a multiphysics COMSOL study that combined magnetic fields and fluid, and hyperelastic based solid mechanics, pushing the simulation capabilities of the software. As a teaching fellow, Thomas was the Mechanical Engineering Lab Lead for the School of Engineering, managing the design and delivery of various module labs for students. In addition, he developed materials for delivering teaching on ethics in engineering, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and design practises across various modules.
