Thomas Gibson

Dr. Thomas Gibson is an Associate Professor in Physics and Astronomy at Texas Tech University, specializing in computational physics. He developed the department's Beowulf clusters (Gamera series) to support simulations of positron-molecule collisions and surface flashover phenomena.

His research interests include concurrent computing methods, Monte Carlo simulations, and quantum scattering processes. Recent publications analyze particle interactions with polyatomic molecules using advanced computational models.

He advises graduate students on topics ranging from muon sites in cuprates to positron collision modeling. Laboratory work focuses on high-voltage applications and membrane biophysics.
