The research topics covered by Thomson span multiple areas related to family and social dynamics. Key subjects include family dynamics and relationships, demographic trends and gender preferences, intergenerational family dynamics and caregiving, employment and welfare studies, health disparities and outcomes, psychological well-being and life satisfaction, as well as assisted reproductive technology and twin pregnancy.

"Childbearing across Partnerships in Europe and the United States" (2021), published in OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)
