Dr. Tom Kerwick, B.Tech., M.Eng.
Tom Kerwick,
B.Tech., M.Eng., Ph.D. is staff at Ceva Inc, a leading licensor of DSP, wireless
connectivity, AI and smart sensing technologies.
Tom is a multidisciplinary engineer and activist.
He graduated with a
Bachelor of
Technology in Electronic Engineering in 1995, a Masters in Computer
Systems in 1996 with a thesis on real-time AI applications of expert
system shells, and more recently a Ph.D. in Engineering Technology in
2011 with his
dissertation on the safety procurement of high energy
(TeV+) collisions within the particle collider industry
entitled
The Safety Procurement of TeV+ Collisions within the Particle
Collider Industry.
Amid concerns from segments of the general public and many academics,
Tom involved in the safety procurement debate on the issue of TeV+
collisions in the particle collider industry from 2007–2011, both in
peer review of academic papers, which became the subject matter of his
Ph.D. — and in raising the matter of safety concerns with European
Parliament. Tom’s official position is that although such experiments
have passed reasonable safety debate, the discussion on such safety
concerns must remain open and inclusive, as should any topic which
relates to the safeguarding of the survival of our planet.
Tom has also authored five papers on Micro Black Hole theory —
Discussions on the Hypothesis that Cosmic Ray Exposure on
Sirius B Negates Terrestrial MBH Concerns from Colliders,
Exploring Terrestial Flux of Hypothetical Stable Micro Black Holes
Produced in Particle Colliders Relative to Natural Cosmic Ray
Exposure,
Neutron Star Safety Assurance Concerns to Particle Collider Operation of TeV-Scale P-P Collisions,
Micro Black Holes — Hypothetical
Terrestrial Flux and a Re-Visitation of Astrophysical Safety
Assurances, and
The Next Great Supercollider — Beyond the LHC.
He also authored a paper on the exploration of the Jovian system
for
the Washington Academy of Sciences titled
Colonizing Jupiter’s Moons: An Assessment of Our Options and
Alternatives.
Besides his academic pursuits, he finds additional avenues of interest
as both a novice writer and as a musician, has been proactive in his
local community fundraising for the Samaritans support group in his
locality in Ireland, and is also the proud father of two.
Tom earned his Bachelors from the Waterford Institute of Technology
(Ireland), his Masters from the University of Limerick (also in
Ireland), both achieved to the highest levels of distinction, and was
awarded a Doctorate via Corllins University (Universal Degrees), again
with distinction, for qualitative and quantitative research.
