معرفی
Professor Lev Kantorovich is a distinguished academic at King’s College London’s Department of Physics, affiliated with the Thomas Young Centre and the Centre for Non-Equilibrium Science (CNES). He holds a Professorship since 2009, progressing from a Lecturer role (2002) and Reader (2005). His academic journey includes a PhD from Latvian University (1975), followed by postdoctoral work at Keele University and University College London.
His research focuses on theoretical simulations of solid surfaces, atomic-scale imaging via AFM/STM, and self-assembly of molecular systems. Key areas include non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, quantum transport in nanojunctions, graphene growth kinetics, and embedded-cluster methods for electronic structure calculations. He develops advanced computational techniques like non-equilibrium Green’s functions (NEGF) and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations.
Recent work explores photon-assisted phenomena in nanojunctions, photoinduced surface reconstructions, and catalytic applications of molybdenum subnanoclusters. His mathematical contributions span transforms (Laplace, Fourier), linear algebra, and partial differential equations, underpinning interdisciplinary modeling.
Affiliated with CNES, he collaborates globally on non-equilibrium science. His research addresses energy, materials, and nanotechnology challenges, with applications in molecular electronics and surface engineering.
