Thomas’ teaching and research explores entanglements between the expanding discipline and practices of landscape architecture. He promotes embodied, experiential making as a critical tool for analysis and design. He has taught foundation and advanced design studios in architecture and landscape architecture, where his students have been awarded by CELA and the ASLA; core courses in construction technologies and ecological planting; and seminars on material culture focused on extraction and entropy. His other scholarship explores feral landscapes from public works to post-industrial landscapes. He has lectured on making, stewardship, and prefabrication; and has been a design critic at universities in Alabama, Louisiana, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia.

Thomas also leads Other Lands Studio (OTH), integrating his other training in visual arts and construction. With international collaborators, OTH has been shortlisted in international competitions for urban design and regional landscape planning. In a decade of landscape practice, Thomas also co-led design and planning processes for public and private landscapes with complex client and stakeholder teams in North America and internationally, including large parks, botanic gardens, institutional campuses, urban residential gardens, and rural farms founded on principles of conservation agriculture planning. He has collaborated on projects awarded nationally and internationally for excellence in design and ecological planning.
