Professor Gregory B. Thompson

Professor Gregory B. Thompson joined the faculty in the Department of Metallurgical & Materials Engineering at The University of Alabama as an Assistant Professor in 2003.  He was tenured and promoted to Associate Professor in 2008 and promoted to Professor in 2012. He currently serves as the Associate Director for UA’s Central Analytical Facility, which houses over $10M of analytical microscopy equipment (www.caf.ua.edu), and Director of the Materials Science PhD program on the UA campus. Professor Thompson has published over 130 peer-reviewed articles in his research areas of analytical microscopy and phase transformations. He received his Ph.D. (2003) and M.S. (1998) from The Ohio State University in Materials Science & Engineering and a B.S. (1996) in Physics from Brigham Young University. Between his M.S. and Ph.D., he worked as a process engineer for Multi-Arc Inc.’s Southeast Regional Coatings Center, which provided hard coatings for cutting tool applications. He is an active member of the Microscopy Society of America, The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS) and the Materials Research Society (MRS).  Professor Thompson was the recipient of the National Science Foundation Early Career Award in 2005 and TMS’s Young Leader and International Young Leader awards in 2005 and 2008, respectively. In 2014, he was recognized as the Blackmon-Moody Outstanding Professor of the Year for The University of Alabama.
