Adina Thompson

Adina M. Thompson, Ph.D., supports grantees under the BJA Postconviction Testing of DNA Evidence program. Housed within the Quattrone Center for the Fair Administration of Justice at UPenn Carey School of Law, her role is to create learning opportunities, engage experts, and provide one-one-one support to grantees from the case identification stage through DNA testing and litigation.

Before joining the Quattrone Center, Dr. Thompson served as Intake Coordinator at Innocence Project of Florida (IPF) from 2015-2023. There, she reviewed cases of potential wrongful conviction from applicants in prisons across Florida and analyzed those cases for post-conviction remedies, both DNA and non-DNA. She earned a Ph.D. in Criminology, Law and Society from the University of Florida in 2014, where her research focused on the way stigma and prejudice affect exonerees returning to the community.
