Chomet grew up in Nazi-occupied Ukraine and arrived in London as a stateless refuge. Chomet was a successively a graduate, demonstrator (1956), and lecturer (1963) in the Physics Department of King's College London. He retired in 1987, returning part-time as a visiting lecturer.
Apart from his career in physics he was also a journalist, an author, and a translator of scientific works to and from Russian. In retirement, a chance enquiry into Prince Albert’s correspondence with Charles Wheatstone led him into another career, as an archival researcher and biographer of Victorian royalty.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Dr. Seweryn Chomet (1930-2009) |journal=Comment |date=September 2009 |issue=189 |page=17 |url=https://www.kcl.ac.uk/archive/publications/comment-archive/pdfs/2009/comment-189.pdf |publisher=King's College |location=London |access-date=10 March 2026}}</ref> He died on 24 July 2009.
