Hi! My name is Kim Georg. Let me tell you a bit about myself.

I'm a physicist, scout, programmer, father, designer, web developer, podcaster, and author.

I hold a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the University of Copenhagen, where I worked in condensed matter physics and quantum optics. Perhaps, it sounds fancy, but it mostly involved a lot of coding and a lot of dressing up in silly costumes in the yearly Physics Revue.

Career

I then moved my family to Germany, where we all learned German during my two-year postdoc at RWTH Aachen. There, I worked on applying non-equilibrium diagrammatics to few-photon quantum optics and also taught quantum mechanics … in German!

Back in Denmark, I joined QuantumWise (later QuantumATK), a company building software for material simulation using first principles quantum mechanics. This small Danish startup was later acquired by American Synopsys. I spent eight great years working on their desktop program, QuantumATK NanoLab — five of them as technical lead. NanoLab is bult in Python and Qt and lets the user construct atomic structures, set up QuantumATK atomic-scale calculations, manage their massively parallel computations on remote clusters, and finally inspect the results in a plethora of custom visualizations.

Besides building GUI, I also worked on the QuantumATK Python API and was involved with out CI pipelines.

In 2025, I left QuantumATK to try my hans as a frontend developer at DBC Digital.

Scouting

I joined the scouts back in first grade—and never left. I've hiked, camped, laughed, and learned a lot. Later, I participated in and chaired national committees and led the planning and execution of the national scouting tournament, DM i Spejder. Currently, I am the head editor and layout designer of the Danish scouting handbook, Spejderliv.
