Brief Profile
PhD in Condensed Matter Physics (Electrical Transport in Low Dimensional Systems) from the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge (1998), Post-Doctoral Researcher at Cavendish Laboratory (1998-2000), Royal Society Research Fellow (Cavendish Laboratory 2000-2008), Associate Professor, Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea (2009-20012), Senior Research Associate, London Centre for Nanotechnology, University College London (2012-2016). Conducted extensive research in the transport characteristics of one-dimensional quantum wires (including the discovery of the 0.7 Structure/0.7 anomaly in quantum wires), published more than 40 papers. Currently working on topological insulators and their applications.
