Dr Tom Peach

Advisor

Tom is a Mechanical Engineering lecturer at University College London, having previously studied at the University of Oxford (DPhil in Biomedical Engineering) and the University of Cambridge (MEng in Civil, Structural, and Environmental Engineering).

At Global Vision Engineering Tom provides expertise on numerical modelling, research methods, and the scoping of technical solutions. His academic research focusses on modelling biological fluid flows, with applications in lean design and medical device development. Tom is a passionate believer in the need for applied and interdisciplinary research, especially for tackling two of the biggest challenges we face in the 21st century: climate change and health.

He is a co-inventor of the UCL-Ventura CPAP breathing aid, which was developed in 2020 with University College Hospital and Mercedes-AMG HPP. The project saw 10,000 non-invasive ventilators supplied to the NHS to treat COVID-19 patients, with the design also released for non-profit use worldwide.
