Thomas completed two Masters at INSA Toulouse (France) focused on Industrial and Mechanical Engineering and Research in Mechanics. Before joining the UC3M as a PhD student, he did an internship at CERN (Switzerland) for six months to carry out his master's thesis. During this stay, he worked on the physical properties (mechanical and thermal) of micrometric wires in Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) under extreme conditions such as very high temperatures, for example. The objective of his PhD is to give a better understanding of the phenomena that appear during high-velocity impacts. Spall fracture and ring fragmentation are the most famous cases in this area. He is part of the THEOREM project of the NSM group at UC3M. Outside of his technical field, Thomas is interested in sports and more precisely in rugby and he practices swimming every week.
