Research summary
AI-generated

Matthew B. Thompson's work centers on forensic pattern-matching expertise (such as fingerprint examination), decision-making and human error in high-stakes settings like forensic science and emergency services, and human factors in complex systems including automation transparency and disaster management. Note that the bibliographic record also includes unrelated titles on spacecraft reentry spectroscopy and hypersonic flows, which appear to be data-matching artifacts rather than this researcher's actual output. Students interested in how experts perceive, judge, and make decisions under uncertainty—particularly in forensic and crisis-response contexts—would find relevance in this body of work.
