Antoine Georges is the Director of the Center for Computational Quantum Physics at the Flatiron Institute. He holds a Ph.D. from École Normale Supérieure, which he received in 1988, and has a distinguished career in condensed matter physics. Georges' early research focused on statistical mechanics of disordered systems, but his main contributions lie in the area of quantum materials characterized by strong electron-electron interactions. These materials exhibit remarkable electronic properties and functionalities. He is renowned for being one of the inventors of Dynamical Mean Field Theory, a breakthrough that transformed the field and earned him the 2006 Europhysics Prize. In recent years, Georges has made significant contributions to the intersections of condensed matter physics and quantum optics, particularly in the study of ultra-cold atomic gases. He was honored with the Silver Medal from the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) in 2007 and received a Synergy grant from the European Research Council, supporting advancements in research for basic science and mathematics.
