Alec Thomas is a Professor of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences at the University of Michigan, holding a Diploma from Imperial College London (2007). His research spans high-intensity laser-plasma interactions, laser wakefield acceleration, and advanced accelerator technology, with recent work focusing on photon-photon scattering bounds, radiation cooling dynamics, and spatiotemporal laser pulse control via plasma lenses. He has pioneered single-shot diagnostics using streaked betatron X-rays in curved wakefield accelerators and developed laboratory-scale X-ray absorption spectroscopy platforms. His publications appear in Physical Review Letters, Communications Physics, and Physics Letters B. Thomas collaborates extensively with institutions across the US, UK, Germany, France, Sweden, Japan, and Canada, including Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, SLAC, Imperial College London, and DESY.
