Duanjun CaiXiamen University – Xiamen, China_______________________________________ Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has attacted broad research interests due to its ultrawide bandgap and unique optoeletronic and electrical properties. However, most studies mainly focused on synthesis, fundamentals, and applications on binary h-BN itself. As a growing community, the members in this family of BN should be extended towards…
Atac Imamoglu
Professor of Physics, ETH Zurich
Atac Imamoglu received his PhD in 1991 from Stanford University for his work on electromagnetically induced transparency. After an ITAMP postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University, he joined University of California, Santa Barbara as an assistant professor where he demonstrated the first solid-state single-photon source. In 2002, he moved to the Department of Physics at ETH Zurich, where he leads the Quantum Photonics group. His research focuses on quantum optics of two dimensional materials, with a strong emphasis on optical spectroscopy of strongly correlated electrons in van der Waals heterostructures.
