Kwanpyo Kim, PhD, Yonsei University, South Korea
Professor Kwanpyo Kim is a faculty member in the Department of Physics at Yonsei University, South Korea. His research primarily focuses on the development and characterization of novel nanomaterials with unique physical properties, which hold potential applications in advanced electronics. Professor Kim has extensively studied the atomic-level structure and properties of various nanomaterials, including graphene and other two-dimensional materials. His contributions to the field have been widely recognized, with over 115 publications and nearly 10,000 citations to date. Professor Kim earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2012. After completing his doctoral studies, he conducted postdoctoral research at Stanford University, where he investigated the interfaces between graphene and organic semiconductors, as well as organic electronics.
Heejun Yang, PhD, Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology, South Korea
Professor Heejun Yang is currently a faculty member at KAIST, South Korea. He earned his B.S. in Physics from KAIST in 2003 and a joint Ph.D. in Physics from Seoul National University and the University of Paris-Sud XI. His research focuses on the development of novel interface devices using van der Waals layered materials, for which he was awarded the IUPAP Young Scientist Prize in Semiconductor Physics in 2018. His Ph.D. research involved studying graphene with scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS), followed by industrial device research at Samsung Electronics from 2010 to 2012. He later conducted postdoctoral research on graphene spintronics in the group of Nobel laureate Albert Fert at CNRS/Thales. Professor Yang has made significant contributions to the field, including the proposal of novel devices such as the "Graphene Barristor" and "Ohmic homojunction contact." In 2022, he was invited to speak at the IUPAP centenary symposium as a representative YSP winner.
The field of low-dimensional materials has garnered significant attention due to their unique properties and potential applications in various advanced technologies. In particular, there has been rapid development in precise atomic-scale synthesis and structural engineering methods for various nanomaterials, enabling fundamental understanding of their properties and advanced applications. This thematic series is dedicated to providing the latest research on recently emerging low-dimensional materials, with a special focus on their synthesis, properties, and integration towards advanced electronics applications. This series will cover various topical material classes, including one-dimensional van der Waals materials, two-dimensional semiconductors, and related structures.
Short list of topics of interest
