Erik THOMS

Erik THOMS is a Post Doctoral Scholar at the School of Molecular Sciences, Arizona State University (ASU). His research focuses on dielectric relaxation, polymer physics, and materials science, with emphasis on structural dynamics and molecular interactions in liquids and glasses. He investigates phenomena such as nonlinear dielectric effects, ionic liquid behavior, and stress-induced molecular responses in polymer systems.

Key research areas include:

• Dielectric properties of polymers and ionic liquids
• Thermal and structural transitions in glassy materials
• Nonlinear optical effects in liquids
• Kinetic arrest and phase control in liquid crystals

His work spans experimental approaches to probe molecular dynamics under varying conditions (e.g., high electric fields, temperature gradients). Recent articles highlight advancements in modeling adsorption rates, understanding Arrhenius process deviations, and analyzing metastable liquid states.
