Thompson Research Logo
The research focus of Professor Thompson’s group connects phase stability with microstructure and relates how each regulates material properties, particularly deformation and magnetism. His group utilizes a variety of state-of-the-art analytical microscopes that characterize materials from the atomic to micron-length scales.  Professor Thompson is keenly interested in transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography techniques to study materials from which direct comparisons to theoretical simulations are made.
Detailed research efforts include:
1) Microstructure-Mechanical Property Relationships in High Temperature Ceramics
2) Tailored Precipitation in Shape Memory Alloys 
3) Nanoscale Stability in Low-Dimensional Materials
4) Analytical Microscopy Research
