Matthew Thomas
I completed an undergraduate degree in physics at Jesus College, Oxford, graduating in 2009.
I now develop and apply biophysical techniques to neuroscience problems. In my spare time I work on the development of tools to analyse Field Asymmetric Ion Mobility Spectrometry (FAIMS) data from complex mixtures, for use in medical diagnosis.
I am supervised by Dr James Covington; Dr Magnus Richardson; Prof. Matthew Turner and Dr Mark Wall.
When I graduate this page will be archived, a more up-to-date page can be found here: Matt Thomas.
