Geoffrey E. Thwaites is an independent problem solver and technical visionary with a lifelong commitment to practical systems thinking and physical causality. Born in Pakenham East, Victoria in 1943, Geoffrey embarked on a career in high-frequency electronics and wave technologies after completing his secondary education at the Ballarat School of Mines Junior Tech and receiving telecommunications training through an RMIT-accredited program. At the age of 15, Geoffrey entered military service, beginning a journey that would span decades of technical innovation and fieldwork. His assignments included advanced radar systems, high-energy pulse transmission, waveguide calibration, and weapons tracking technologies at Australia’s Weapons Research Establishment in Woomera. He later contributed to national border definition systems through airborne distance measurement, as well as atomic absorption photo mass spectrometry and hyper-spectral airborne mapping technologies. His experience with plasma, energy transmission, and electromagnetic systems provided a practical foundation for understanding field behavior on both micro and cosmic scales. Geoffrey also holds supplementary qualifications as a Justice of the Peace and is a Fellow of the Institute of Company Directors (FICD). His mission has evolved to address one of the greatest scientific challenges of our time: explaining the origin of energy, matter, and cosmic structure without invoking metaphysical singularities. The Zero-Field Cosmogenesis theory is the result of this mission—a reframing of cosmology rooted in wave mechanics, harmonic interaction, and logical causality. This work stands not in opposition to the Standard Model, but as its natural continuation, replacing assumptions with coherence and offering a new language for the emergence of structure in the universe.

In January 2025, Cat Burford became the 13th womanto ski 708 miles solo and unsupported to the South Pole, a feat that tested the limits of human endurance, resilience, and psychological performance in one of Earth’s harshest environments. A trained dentist with a special interest in orthodontics, Cat balances clinical work in Cornwall with humanitarian deployments and her role as a faculty member with World Extreme Medicine. Her South Pole success came down to precise navigation, sound risk management, and the solid base of experience she’d built through years of training. Cat’s wider expeditions across the Gobi Desert, Patagonia, Nepal, Chile, Peru, Borneo, and New Zealand have deepened her insight into operating in remote, resource-limited, and environmentally fragile regions. At Aerospace 2026, Cat draws parallels between polar travel and aerospace challenges, offering lessons in resilience, decision-making whilst alone, and the mental habits she adopted to help her manage the challenges of isolation and endurance. She also shares firsthand observations of climate, environmental change, and sustainability from her Antarctic journey.
