Applied plasma physicist and technologist, interested in both the fundamentals and application. CEO (former CTO) and Co-founder of Fourth State Medicine Ltd (Fourth State), a company specialising in the development of innovative air plasma devices. Thomas has worked on a diverse range of problems, with doctoral level expertise in the design and operation of DC and RF low pressure/temperature plasmas for space electric propulsion and organic surface treatment. Extensive experience producing rapid turn around and iteration of proof-of-concept low pressure and atmospheric pressure plasma devices and experiments to demonstrate feasibility. The scientific method is repeatability, which we achieve by identifying the factors which most strongly influence the outcomes. Then we repeat and and remember for next time . The same goes for executive decision making. Data and history are your friend. Other experience includes Arduino development, nuclear spectroscopy techniques, end-to-end CGI development, technical team management and decision making at executive level, seed fund raising, self certification and medical device CE mark process, ISO9001 implementation.
