Biography

edit

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

edit

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]
