Doerte Blume is a Professor of Physics at University of Oklahoma doing research in the area of cold atom and few-body physics. ^[1]

Biography

Blume completed her undergraduate and obtained a PhD in 1998 from Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Germany. Her PhD was supervised by Jan Peter Toennies and K. Birgitta Whaley. This included research done at University of California, Berkeley. Following this she completed a post-doc at JILA, University of Colorado Boulder. ^{[2] [3] [4]}

Research

Blume conducts research into sub-atomic particles at Washington State University. ^[5]

In 2022 she obtained a $1million grant from the W. M. Keck Foundation to investigate quantum synchronization. ^{[6] [7]}
