ABOUT THOMAS CROSS
Passionate about both applied solutions to engineering questions and fundamental science exploration, my work lies at the odd interaction of turbomachinery, applied maths, and ice physics (think amateur Cross is a Doctoral student at the Oxford Thermofluids Institute, exploring Glaciated Ice Icing and Shedding in Gas Turbines. He was formerly a research student at the Whittle Laboratory, University of Cambridge, as part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Propulsion and Power.Tom holds a First Class MEng in Aeronautical Engineering from the Department of Aeronautics, Imperial College London; his Master\'s Thesis exploring multi-dimensional optimisation of supersonic biplanes using data reduction of simulations in OpenFOAM. Previous experience includes designing small scale supersonic wind tunnel research and teaching rigs for lecture demonstrations for compressible flows and the evaluation an intermeshing-helicopter for the Aerial Recovery of Rocket Stages.Education:DPhil 20••••26, Trinity College, University of Oxford.MRes 20••••22, Wolfson College, University of Cambridge.MEng 20••••21, Aeronautics, Imperial College London.ALevels 20••••17, Adams\' Grammar School, Newport, Salop.Specialisation and Research Interests:Ice crystal icing in gas turbine compressors, applied fluid mechanics, high speed aerodynamics, unsteady flows, heat and mass transfer, shockwave-boundary-layer interactions, simulation and experimental methodsTeaching Interests:Turbomachinery, fluid mechanics, high speed propulsion/aerodynamics.Professional Memberships:Associates of City & Guilds of London Institute (ACGI), Royal Aeronautical Society (ARAeS), Institute of Mechanical Engineers (AMIMechE)Student Member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA)+ Member of Atmospheric and Space Environments Tech Committee, American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)Interim Chartered Engineer (iCEng)Honours and Awards:Best Paper in Atmospheric and Space Environments (AIAA Aviation)- 2024+25Graduate Prize & Scholarship (Trinity College, Oxford)- 2023+24Jennings Prize (Wolfson College, Cambridge)- 2022Imperial College Aeronautics Resilience Prize - 2021Imperial Aeronautics Centenary Prize (Best 3rd year group project report & contribution)- 2020
