Biography
Philip Kim is a professor of physics and applied physics at Harvard University who works with experimental physics in low-dimensional quantum materials. He earned his B.S. in physics from Seoul National University in 1990 and his Ph.D. in applied physics from Harvard University in 1999. Before joining Harvard, he was a Miller Postdoctoral Fellow in Physics at the University of California, Berkeley, and a faculty member at Columbia University. Professor Kim’s research focuses on mesoscopic investigations of transport phenomena, particularly the electric, thermal, and thermoelectric properties of low-dimensional nanoscale materials, such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and other two-dimensional materials and their heterostructures. He has received numerous honors and awards, including the Benjamin Franklin Medal in Physics (2023) and the Oliver E. Buckley Prize from the American Physical Society (2014). Professor Kim is an elected member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
