Dr Thomas Field

Dr Thomas Field

School of Mathematics and Physics

Dr Field investigates electron molecule collisions on the sub-nanometer molecular scale with experiments and quantum mechanical theoretical calculations. He also works at the macroscopic scale on plasmas in liquids and gases as atmospheric pressure. This work has led to pure and applied research projects such as; investigation of possible mechanisms for the formation of negative ions in space and collaborations with companies related to development of monitoring tools for plasmas and other applications.
