[1] Georges' interest in science began during his teenage years at his father's laboratory at the French Institute of Health and Medical Research.
In 1989, he became a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University in order to work on high-critical-temperature superconductors in the group of Phil Anderson.
[2] In the Fall of 1990, he started collaborating with Gabriel Kotliar who had recently joined Rutgers University and together they developed today's formulation of Dynamical Mean Field Theory by mapping it onto the self-consistent solution of a quantum impurity model.
In 2003, he was appointed full professor at Ecole Polytechnique and relocated there, creating a research group in theoretical condensed matter physics at the Centre de Physique Théorique.
[5][6] He has been jointly awarded the 2022 Feenberg Memorial Medal with Gabriel Kotliar and Dieter Vollhardt for work that has significantly advanced the field of many-body physics.
