Tom Pietryka

Biography

I am a PGR at the Wolfson Atmospheric Chemistry laboratory and I am working with Prof. Mat Evan’s and Prof. James Lee to understand and model tropospheric oxidation in the tropics. I recently competed an MSc in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry at the University of Oxford.

Qualifications

2025-26 MSc Theoretical and Computational Chemistry from University of Oxford

Research Interests

Modelling, fieldwork and quantitative work.

Teaching Interests

Chemistry and maths.

PhD: Understanding atmospheric oxidation in the marine tropical Atlantic

Modelling tropospheric atmospheric oxidation in the tropics. In particular, the project will involve collecting experimental data at the Cape Verde observatory, determining robust uncertainties in physical parameters to see where and when the model is particularly poor, and  fitting the model to that data.
