Thomas Siegmund works in mechanical engineering and applied mechanics, focusing on how materials and structures deform, crack, and fail under stress, heat, and cyclic loading. His work spans fatigue and fracture in metal alloys (including 3D-printed parts), the mechanics of bio-inspired 'topologically interlocked' building-block structures, and thermal/mechanical design problems such as battery cell heat management. Much of the research combines numerical simulation with structural design analysis for engineering applications.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade with a peak around 2018, followed by a gradual decline to a steadier lower rate of roughly 5-7 papers per year in recent years.
