Dr Matt Thompson

Dr Matt Thompson is a Mechanical Engineer specialising in Mechanical Design and Materials characterisation, and a Chartered Engineer with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.

Matt previously taught at the University of Nottingham, focusing on Mechanical Design and CAD Modelling. He has an MEng in Mechanical Engineering (Automotive) from the University of Nottingham and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Nottingham.

During his PhD, Matt worked on developing novel geometric modelling methods for braided composites. His research focused on the material characterisation of braided fabrics to develop analytical models of the braided geometry and predict the mechanical performance.

Matt is focused on developing mechanical and product design projects and skills at TEDI-London with a specialist lead in CAD. Additionally, Matt is the Academic Lead for TEDI-London Residentials working with our founders and industry to tackle engineering problems with a range of interdisciplinary students from around the world.
