Björn Baumeier

Björn Baumeier is an Associate Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. His research focuses on multiscale simulation techniques for electronic transport in soft matter, combining computational chemistry, statistical physics, and mathematics. He is affiliated with the Centre for Analysis, Scientific Computing and Applications (CASA) and the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems (ICMS). He received a Vidi grant (€800,000) from NWO in 2017 for studying electronic transport in molecular systems.

His research interests include: multiscale modeling of charge transport, quantum-classical coupling in molecular systems, and excitonic processes in organic semiconductors. Key topics are electronic structure-morphology interplay, biomolecular assemblies, and super-coarse-grained materials modeling.

Recent work emphasizes interface effects in dielectrics, charge trapping mechanisms, and embedded many-body Green’s function methods. He has developed the VOTCA framework for multiscale simulations. His educational contributions include courses on molecular modeling, numerical linear algebra, and advanced ODE simulation methods.

Honors include the NWO Vidi Award for pioneering work on supramolecular nanostructures. Supervised 28 research works and led projects funded by NWO and EU initiatives. Active in collaborative research across Europe and the U.S., with interdisciplinary focus on sustainable energy materials aligning with UN SDGs.
