Matthew Thomson

Hi! My name is Matthew Thomson, and I'm a graduate student in physics. I did my undergrad here at the UofA, studying engineering physics. I am currently co-supervised by Dr. Joseph Maciejko and Dr. Frank Marsiglio, where I am studyting continuous symmetry breaking of one-dimensional spin chains using the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) algorithm.

I also help the Student Team for Alberta Rocketry Research (STARR) with their avionics, continuing as an advisor and mentor from my time as the avionics team lead in my undergrad.
