Tommy is a Project Engineer at the Water Research Laboratory. He completed a PhD at Macquarie University in 2020, focusing on the coastal processes of open coast beaches classifying them and their storm response. He has over 5 years of experience working on a range of projects investigating processes of beaches, estuaries, coral reefs, and coral reef islands.

Tommy is a recognised expert in coastal processes, having worked on projects with collaborators from industry, government, and academia in Australia, New Zealand, the USA, and the Pacific. He has published 21 journal publications emphasising the processes and climate drivers impacting the evolution of different coastal environments, considering geo-physical, biological, human, and legal dimensions. He is adept at conducting fieldwork, collecting and analysing geospatial, remote sensing and hydrodynamic data, writing technical reports and managing projects.

In 2024, Tommy completed a 4-year postdoctoral research position at the University of Sydney, where he investigated climate threats to coral islands in Australia and Tuvalu, quantified climate drivers of island stability and developed a coral island vulnerability assessment.
