Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPablo Ríos is a computational physicist and postdoctoral scientist with nine years of experience developing and applying continuum and second-quantized quantum Monte Carlo methods to challenging electronic-structure and quantum-chemistry problems. He is a principal contributor to the CASINO codebase and has authored 22 peer-reviewed papers with broad citation impact, reflecting an h-index of 12. At the Max-Planck Institute and previously at the University of Cambridge, he has combined method development with practical applications to molecules and materials, bridging algorithmic innovation and real-world prediction. His work emphasizes hybrid approaches that marry continuum techniques with second-quantized formalisms, enabling more accurate treatment of correlated electrons. Based in the Greater Cambridge area, he brings deep domain expertise from a Cambridge PhD and an international research track record that blends open-source development with rigorous computational science.
