Thomas Bondo Pedersen

Thomas Bondo Pedersen is a Professor in Theoretical Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry, University of Oslo. His research focuses on computational methods in electronic structure theory, including coupled cluster theory and ab initio modeling of condensed phases using periodic boundary conditions. He has held academic positions at institutions such as the University of Tromsø, Uppsala University, and Lund University, and has been involved in research projects like the Centre for Theoretical and Computational Chemistry (CTCC) and the FRIPRO-funded PBCCC initiative.

Education:

• PhD in Quantum Chemistry (1996–1999), Aarhus University
• M.Sc. in Physical Chemistry (1989–1995), University of Copenhagen

Research Interests:

His work emphasizes the development of advanced computational techniques for studying molecular systems, particularly in the context of optical properties, quantum dynamics, and coupled cluster methods. Recent contributions include real-time propagation methods, Gaussian wavepacket simulations, and Cholesky decomposition applications in electronic structure calculations.

Key Projects:

• Leading the CTCC (2007–2017), a joint CoE with the University of Tromsø.
• FRIPRO-funded PBCCC project (2015–2018) focused on coupled cluster methods for periodic systems.

Labs/Teams:

Active contributor to the Hylleraas Centre for Quantum Molecular Sciences and collaborates with researchers in computational molecular science and quantum theory.
