Kin Chung Fong

  • Associate Professor

Kin Chung Fong is Associate Professor, jointly appointed in the Departments of Physics and Electrical and Computer Engineering. Professor Fong is a condensed matter experimentalist, quantum engineer, and inventor. His interdisciplinary research uniquely bridges fundamental physics and engineering. His group investigates the fundamental physics of quantum material platforms, such as graphene, topological insulators, Weyl semimetals, and superconductors, and applies these discoveries to engineer innovative quantum devices, including single-photon detectors, quantum noise amplifiers, and qubit systems. In turn, he harnesses these devices to develop advanced experimental techniques, enabling the discovery of novel physical phenomena such as electron hydrodynamics, pairing mechanisms in unconventional superconductors, and dark matter axions.
