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. It sounds fancy, but it mostly involved collaborating with other physics students and spending a lot of time coding.

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 even taught quantum mechanics—in German!

Back in Denmark, I joined QuantumWise (later QuantumATK), a company building software for material simulation using from first principles quantum mechanics. This Danish startup was later acquired by Synopsys. I spent eight great years working on their desktop program, QuantumATK NanoLab—five of them as technical lead. NanoLab is a GUI for the QuantumATK simulation engine, developed in Python and Qt. It lets users construct atomic structures, set up atomic-scale calculations, manage parallel computations on remote clusters, and visualize results with custom tools.

I was also part of the team that developed the QuantumATK Python API, which allows users to automate and customize simulations with Python scripts. I wrote extensive documentation and tutorials for this API.

In 2025, I left QuantumATK to join DBC Digital as a frontend developer.

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.

spejderliv

The online version of the danish scouting handbook, Spejderliv. Here you can print your own custom topographic maps, play with a working telegraph, solve ciphers with the interactive code-wheel or the automatic morse code translator. There are also cipher fonts, knot posters, star maps, laser cutting templates and many more things for download.

dmispejder

Website for the national danish scouting tournament. It contained practical information and image/video galleries from the qualifiying and final rounds. It also hosted an application for submitting scanned version of the then defunct fact-cards, Kort og Godt, which was then made browsable by everyone. All cards were successfully collected through the help of at more than 50 individuals.
