SUMMARY:Physics in Flatland: Searching for New Quantum Materials for Emerging Technologies
DESCRIPTION:
 "Quantum physics has reshaped our understanding 
 of materials and provided the opportunity 
 to design materials for novel device applications. 
 For example, superconductivity, an 
 emergent quantum phenomenon in which electrons 
 move without dissipating energy, has been exploited 
 for devices that enable quantum computing 
 and communications. In addition, modern 
 electronics rely heavily on technology that 
 confines electrons in the interfacial atomic 
 layers, where the electrons move in an effective 
 two-dimensional (2D) space, a flatland. The 
 unique properties of these low-dimensional 
 material systems are generally understood by 
 considering enhanced quantum effects. In recent 
 years, scientists have discovered that they 
 can stack atomically thin 2D quantum materials 
 to create engineered materials with a wide 
 variety of electronic and optical properties. 
 In this talk, we will discuss several research 
 efforts to realize emergent physical phenomena 
 in stacked atomically thin layered materials 
 and possible applications based on these 
 materials."\n

 Professor Philip 
 Kim received his bachelor's degree in physics 
 at Seoul National University in 1990 and received 
 his PhD in Applied Physics from Harvard 
 University in 1999. He was a   Miller Postdoctoral 
 Fellow in Physics from University of 
 California, Berkeley during 1999-2001. He joined 
 the Department of Physics at Columbia University 
 as a faculty member during 2002-2014. 
 Since 2014, he has held a post at Harvard University, 
 where he is a professor of physics 
 and applied physics. \n

 The focus of Kim's group 
 research is the mesoscopic investigation 
 of transport phenomena, particularly, electric, 
 thermal, and thermoelectrical properties 
 of low dimensional nanoscale materials. These 
 materials include carbon nanotubes, organic 
 and inorganic nanowires, 2-dimensional mesoscopic 
 single crystals, and single organic molecules. 
 Kim has also received numerous honors 
 and awards, including: the Benjamin Franklin 
 Medal in Physics (2023); Tomassoni-Chisesi Prizes 
 (2018); the Oliver E. Buckley Prize, American 
 Physical Society (2014); the Dresden Barkhausen 
 Award (2012); and the Ho-Am Science 
 Prize (2008). He is an elected member of the 
 National Science of Academy (2023) and the American 
 Academy of Arts and Science (2020). He 
 has graduated 21 PhD students and trained 32 
 postdoctoral fellows and has published more 
 than 250 papers.\n
