Gillespie's research spans energy-focused experimental physics with strong interdisciplinary applications. His primary domains include gas adsorption mechanics in porous media, hydrogen/methane storage solutions for transportation, metrology standards, thermal transport phenomena, environmental remediation (air/water purification), nanomaterial engineering for high surface area applications, and vehicular alternative fuel systems. Secondary interests encompass physics pedagogy, phase dynamics in multiphase systems, thermodynamic modeling, and electron microscopy techniques.

His laboratory work is anchored at the Texas Tech University Reese National Security Complex (Room ESB 153), where he contributes to the Center for Emerging Energy Sciences' mission of developing next-generation energy storage and conversion technologies.
