Tomohito Otobe

Tomohito Otobe is a Principal  Researcher at the Kansai Institute for Photon Science, National  Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST), Japan. He received  his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Tsukuba.  His research focuses on first-principles simulations of ultrafast  light–matter interactions, including real-time time-dependent density  functional theory (TDDFT), strong-field electron dynamics,  valleytronics, and large-scale computational methods for quantum  materials. He is one of the principal developers of the open-source  simulation package SALMON, which is widely used for large-scale  simulations of electron dynamics in solids, nanostructures, and  laser-driven nonequilibrium phenomena. His current research  interests include large-scale real-time electron dynamics, multiscale  light–matter simulations, and next-generation computational frameworks  for nonequilibrium quantum systems.
