Profile
Matthew completed an undergraduate master’s degree in Physics at the University of Bath and a PhD in Plasma Physics at the University of York. At York, he was based at Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE) on a long-term industrial placement to work on a world leading fusion device. Matthew’s research focused on studying the steep temperature and density gradients at the plasma edge as measured by the Thomson scattering diagnostic. Matthew continued his research as a post-doctoral researcher before pursuing a career in intellectual property in 2016. Matthew is based in our Glasgow office supporting the work of our patent department.
