Summary

Thomas Lawson is a computational nuclear astrophysicist with a background researching the products of core-collapse supernova and their pollution into the early Solar System.

He finished his PhD in Physics at the university of Hull, with strong collaboration with Konkoly Observatory in Budapest, in 2023. He moved onto a Teaching Fellow position with the Centre of Excellence for Data Science, Artificial Intelligence and Modelling (DAIM).

He is active in science outreach, currently acting as co-outreach officer in Physics.
