Simon Caron-Huot is an Associate Professor at the NBIA. Simon hails from Canada and completed his Ph.D. in 2009 at McGill University, Montréal. He did his first postdoc as a member of the School of Natural Sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, starting in 2009, where he devoted his research to on-shell scattering amplitudes in gauge theories. Simon moved to Copenhagen in 2012 for an Assistant Professorship at the Niels Bohr International Academy, meanwhile retaining his affiliation with the IAS which he visited frequently until 2014.
Simon was awarded a FNU grant which supported his amplitude work during 2012-2014.
Amplitudes provide a critical connection between the fields of high-energy theory and experiment. Simon's current research focuses on developing new tools for calculating them most efficiently and uncovering new structures present in them.
