Thomas Blommel

Thomas Blommel is a Researcher at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), affiliated with the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry under the supervision of PI Vojtech Vlcek. He holds a Ph.D. in Physics and Computational Science from the University of Michigan (2024) and a dual B.S. in Mathematics and Physics from North Dakota State University (2018).

His research focuses on developing numerical integration techniques for quantum systems driven out of equilibrium, particularly leveraging the Kadanoff-Baym equations. Current projects include benchmarking real-time density embedding (RT-DE) calculations using the full KBE formalism and extending RT-DE to higher-order self-energies. His methods emphasize compression and adaptive techniques to enhance computational efficiency.

No scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned in the provided text. He currently works in the Vlcek research group at UCSB, located in PSBN 3606.
