Prof. George Booth, Kings College London

Professor George Booth specialises in computational electronic structure theory, with a parallel development of novel numerical techniques and their application.

Of particular interest are approaches for extended molecular systems, drawing on a broad range of experience from quantum chemistry to tensor networks and quantum Monte Carlo algorithms to extend the state of the art techniques beyond density functional theory. Working at the intersection of traditional quantum chemistry and numerical physics approaches, he has developed methods for both ground state and spectral techniques, including quantum embedding methods to extend application towards materials science.

He obtained his PhD in Theoretical Chemistry from the University of Cambridge, after which he became a Junior Research Fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge. After further positions at Princeton university and then as a lecturer back in Cambridge, he moved to King's College London in 2014 as a Royal Society university research fellow. He is now a Professor of theoretical physics at King's.

Kuano is delighted to welcome Prof. Booth to its team as an Advisor.
