John Thompson has academic success down to a science, specifically chemistry. The new PhD grad leaves SFU with an A+ cumulative grade point average, 15 publications to his name and a 2015 Faculty of Science Graduate Student Teaching Award. His thesis on the design of highly birefringent materials was accepted with the rarely used 鈥淐ategory 1鈥� designation, 鈥淭hesis accepted without changes.鈥�

When asked for his study tips, Thompson says he鈥檚 doesn鈥檛 think he has any unique habits.

鈥淲hat makes it easiest,鈥� he says, 鈥渋s to make sure you enjoy what you are studying. I could always find the motivation to study chemistry because I am genuinely interested in learning about it.鈥� 

Thompson is currently residing in Edmonton, where he is already employed as a scientist in the analytical chemistry department at Gilead Sciences Inc. He is in training to oversee the release of commercial and clinical drug products.

Thompson鈥檚 not sure whether he鈥檒l stay in industry or end up in academia鈥攔ight now he鈥檚 happy to join the working world.  He is confident that his philosophy and attitude will lead him in the right direction.

鈥淚 don't really have a specific career goal at the moment, I'm just trying my best and seeing where it takes me.鈥�

He adds, 鈥淚  tend to live by a few rules or mottos: be nice/ kind to people, help people without expectation and work hard. I think if I stick to these then I'll be okay.鈥�

He鈥檒l be 鈥渕ore than okay,鈥� however.

Thompson is one of the first researchers in the world to study birefringent materials that are critical to optical technologies and telecommunications.

His supervisor, professor Danny Leznoff says, 鈥淭he methodology developed by John has led to a completely different way of examining and designing crystalline materials that show record-breaking birefringence (having a refractive index that depends on the polarization and propagation direction of light). His work really has defined the new field of study鈥�.

Thompson is excited to put his PhD to work but says he鈥檒l miss the people at SFU.

鈥淭he chemistry department at SFU has a really good vibe where everyone collaborates and is willing to help one another. I made a lot of good friends there (both students and profs) and I definitely miss working with them already.鈥�
