Thomas Wonderley

HPGe detectors are complex instruments pushing the limits of material science, surface chemistry, high performance instrumentation and nuclear physics.

Thomas graduated from the integrated Masters (MPhys) in Physics course at the University of Liverpool in 2022 after switching from the Physics with Nuclear Science course in his third year. His Masters project focussed on studying the Structure and Back-bending phenomenon in Cerium-132 using Gamma-Ray Coincidence Measurements.

During Thomas’ undergraduate years he had great interest in programming and simulation of physical systems, which sparked his desire to continue to a PhD. His PhD project will focus on incorporating Artificial Intelligence to improve the performance and reliability of HPGe detectors.
