BioMy name is Thomas Wooldridge. I recently graduated with my BS in Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. I am currently a research assistant in Dr. Ron Hanson's lab group, where I am interested in working with shock tubes, laser analytic systems, and hypersonics. I enjoy spending time outside, playing golf and badminton, and going to the gym.

BioI study mechanics of materials using computer simulations across multiple length and time scales. I am currently working on understanding how material defects and microstructures govern macroscopic mechanical behaviors. This includes constructing plasticity theory from statistics of dislocations, homogenization theory of digital rocks, and developing data-driven methods for multiscale simulations.
I did Research Interns at Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs (working on machine learning for dynamical and energy systems) and Tokyo Electron (working on computational modeling of semiconductor manufacturing).
I am currently teaching (TA & co-lecture) for Elasticity & Inelasticity (ME340). I served as the TA for Finite Element Method (ME335A).
