<span style="font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Dr. Packham earned BSc (1992) and in Physics at the University of Hertfordshire (UK), and a Ph.D. degree (1997) in Physics at the University of Hertfordshire (UK). His Ph.D. research topic was on active
galactic nuclei. He worked as a post-doc at the Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes on galaxies and IR instrumentation. In 2001, Dr. Packham began his appointment as an assistant professor at Florida University, and in 2013 he moved to University of Texas at
San Antonio where he is currently doing research in astrophysics. More information about Dr. Packham and his research can be found at</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline;">To enable exoplanet, protoplanetary disk, AGN, follow-up JWST observations, and continuation of work started on 8m’s, we continue to plan the science cases and instrument design for a TIR imager and spectrometer
for early operation on the TMT. I present the current status of our science cases and the instrumentation plans, harnessing expertise across the TMT partnership. This instrument will be proposed by the MICHI team as a second-generation instrument. I particularly
focus on AGN studies.</span></p>
