Dr. Kayn A. Forbes

Dr Kayn A Forbes received his PhD in quantum electrodynamics under the supervision of Professor David L. Andrews at the University of East Anglia (UEA), UK, in 2018. He was then awarded a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship 2019–2022 and in September 2022 was appointed Lecturer in Theoretical Chemistry at UEA. He is a theoretician with expertise in nanophotonics and structured light using methods from both quantum and semiclassical optics with a particular emphasis on molecular and chemical systems. His most recent interest has been in exploiting the chirality of complex light for applications in chiroptical spectroscopy and optical manipulation.
