Associate Research Scientist, Center for Computational Quantum Physics

Bio

Olivier Gingras is an Associate Research Scientist at the CCQ. His research centers on numerical simulations of strongly correlated systems, with a particular focus on realistic quantum materials and multi-orbital unconventional superconductors. To predict observable phenomena in increasingly complex systems, he develops and applies cutting-edge algorithms. He joined the Simons Foundation in 2021 as a Flatiron Research Fellow, after completing his Ph.D. from the Université de Montréal and the Université de Sherbrooke.
