An Impact! People case study from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).

As head of research and development for one of the biggest brands in sport, Tom Waller will influence everything from Olympic finals to family beach holidays.

The former EPSRC-supported student and researcher is now head of Aqualab, Speedo’s global research and development facility based in Nottingham.

Swimming is a multi-billion pound industry, ranging from elite performance products to a lifestyle market that includes “anything you would wear in or around water”.

EPSRC is a part of the Research Councils UK (RCUK) partnership of research councils.
