Dr. Tom Hill

Biography

Tom L Hill is a Lecturer specializing in Nonlinear Structural Dynamics at the University of Bristol. He obtained both his Bachelor of Engineering and PhD from the University of Bristol. His research primarily focuses on field nonlinear structural dynamics, driven by the need for high-performance engineering solutions. Tom's specific interests encompass nonlinear modeling and simulation, nonlinear modal interactions, and nonlinear system identification. He investigates how nonlinear behavior affects engineering structures that are typically designed under the assumption of linearity. His work involves the development of mathematical models to accurately describe these structures through experimental testing and novel identification methods. Tom is actively involved in various research projects, including those related to hydraulic in-wheel motor suspension systems and robotic prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment. He also engages in academic collaborations and participates in invited talks, contributing to the field through knowledge dissemination and community engagement.
