Bio
Alec G. R. Thomas was born in London, U.K., on June 20, 1980. He received the M.Sci. (Hons) and Ph.D. degrees from Imperial College London, London.,He is currently a Research Associate with the Blackett Laboratory, Imperial College London, where he is specializing in computational and theoretical modeling of high-intensity laser–matter interactions.
Professor Thomas works in experimental and theoretical plasma physics. His research is focused on the physics and applications of high power laser interactions with plasma. When heated by lasers, highly non-equilibrium states of matter arise, where complex behavior such as collective wave-particle interactions is prevalent and only full kinetic descriptions of the particle distribution are valid. Light and plasma couple together strongly, leading to instabilities and nonlinear wave formation. At the highest intensities, quantum electrodynamic effects become important in determining the plasma dynamics. Applications of intense laser driven plasma include advanced, miniature particle accelerators, next generation photon sources and inertial fusion energy. Professor Thomas is part of the Center for Ultrafast Optical Science High Field Science group, using the HERCULES and Lambda-cubed very high power laser systems for investigating the physics of relativistic plasma.
Professor Thomas holds an NSF CAREER Award and an AFOSR Young Investigator Award.
Research area keywords: Laser-plasma interactions at relativistic intensities, particle acceleration with intense lasers, computer modeling.
My research interests comprise computational and experimental laser-plasma interaction physics, including the development of compact particle accelerators using lasers; particularly laser wakefield acceleration of electrons. The Hercules laser at CUOS is currently the most intense laser system in the world, up to 1022 Wcm-2. At such intensities, not only is electronic oscillation in the electromagnetic fields highly relativistic, but also the photon flux emitted by the oscillating charges is sufficient to impart a significant change of momentum to the electrons. Studying fundamental high-field and plasma physics under such conditions is important to a number of research topics, including particle acceleration, radiation generation, and quantum effects. In addition, I am interested in the development of innovative computational models for studying plasma physics under non-equilibrium conditions, where fluid models are not valid, relevant to inertial confinement fusion and fast ignition scenarios.
