Bio:
Thomas graduated from North Dakota State University in 2018 with a dual bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Physics. There he developed an interest in computational physics working on lattice gas simulations with Dr. Alexander Wager. He then moved to the University of Michigan where he obtained his PhD in Physics and Computational Science working with Dr. Emanuel Gull. During his PhD studies, he developed highly efficient numerical integration techniques for the Kadanoff-Baym equations and applied them to model quantum systems out of equilibrium.
Research:
Thomas' research interests lie in numerical integration techniques for quantum systems driven out of equilibrium. His work has mainly focused on developing efficient integrators for the Kadanoff-Baym equations which leverage compression and adaptive techniques. He is now working on benchmarking RT-DE calculations using the full KBE formalism, as well as extending the RT-DE to higher order self-energies.
