Research summary
AI-generated

Todd A. Thompson works in astrophysics, studying how stars and galaxies produce and eject material into space. His research covers topics such as supernovae and magnetar explosions that forge heavy elements, winds and outflows driven by star formation in galaxies, and the physics of core-collapse supernovae. Prospective students would engage with theoretical and observational work connecting stellar explosions, nucleosynthesis (the creation of chemical elements), and galactic-scale gas outflows.
