Prof. SungHyun Nam

Pine Island Ice Shelf (PIIS) buttresses the Pine Island Glacier, the key contributor to sea-level rise. PIIS has thinned owing to ocean-driven melting, and its calving front has retreated, leading to buttressing loss.

Multiferroic enabled magnetic-exciton in 2D qunatum entangled van der Waals antiferromagnet NiI2

Multiferroic enabled magnetic-exciton in 2D qunatum entangled van der Waals antiferromagnet NiI2

Prof. Je-Geun Park

Matter-light interaction is at the center of diverse research fields from quantum optics to condensed matter physics, opening new fields like laser physics. A magnetic exciton is one such rare example found in magnetic insulators.
