Dong-Ho Kang (Gwangju Institue of Science and Technology (GIST))

Biography: Prof. Dong-Ho Kang received his M.S./Ph.D. (2019) and B.Eng. (2014) degrees in Electrical Engineering from Sungkyunkwan University, Korea. He joined the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at Nanyang Technological University in March 2019 as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. During the postdoc, he focused on the experimental demonstration of the pseudo-magnetic field in strained graphene. In November 2021, he joined School of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science (EECS) at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) as an Assistant Professor. His research focuses on developing 2D material-based photonic devices for optical quantum computing technologies. His current research group has 5+ postdocs/staff/M.S./Ph.D. students, who are supported by funding from NRF and Samsung Electronics. He is an author of >40 articles in top-tier journals, such as Nature Communications, Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, Advanced Science, and ACS Nano.
