Biography
  1. Tom received his bachelor’s from the University of Illinois Urbana -Champaign in Materials Science and Engineering in December 2017. Susequently, Tom completed his PhD in the Kilian Laboratory here at the UNSW Sydney as an RTP scholar. His work centers around developing new materials paltforms that enable researcher to better mimic the complexities found in native tissues. He enjoys long walks on the beach, climbing, playing some basketball, and loves cooking food almost as much as he does eating it. Astrological sign: Aries
