He has published extensively on topics such as radicalization, bystander reporting mechanisms, and the socio-political implications of counter-terrorism measures.
Thomas has been involved in numerous research projects, including studies on community engagement, policy evaluation, and youth worker challenges in counter-terrorism contexts. He collaborates with institutions like Coventry University, Deakin University, and the University of California, among others.
