Jon Tandy is a researcher at University of Kent, UK
 

Dr Jon Tandy’s research utilises a broad range of analytical techniques to examine the chemical modification of materials relevant to planetary bodies and interstellar dust grains due to hypervelocity impacts and high energy irradiation. He has particular research interests in: high-speed imaging and spectroscopy of light flashes from hypervelocity impact plumes; shock synthesis of complex organic molecules; cryogenic capture of high impact ejecta for subsequent chemical analyses; photolytic and radiolytic chemical processing of prebiotic molecules under simulated planetary conditions or those relevant to interstellar dust grains; and chemical modification of planetary analogues.
