Seungmin ParkKyung Hee University, Seoul, Republic of Korea _______________________________________ Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a unique two-dimensional van der Waals material with a wide bandgap of 6.2 eV, optical transparency, and stability under ambient conditions and high temperatures. Due to its wide bandgap, color centers at various wavelengths can be created within hBN, which have…
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.
