Professional Summary

Theoretical condensed matter physicist working on topological phases, quantum geometry, and magnetoelectric responses in correlated and van der Waals systems.

Experience

  • 2024 - present

    Seoul, South Korea

    Graduate Researcher (Condensed Matter Theory)
    Hanyang University, Department of Physics
    Advisor: Prof. Moon Jip Park
    • Led a first-author project on odd-parity magnetism in van der Waals heterostructures — derived the Landau free energy and constructed a tight-binding model stabilizing odd-parity magnetic order.
    • Calculated the spectrum of low-angle moiré honeycomb-kagome lattices and identified a higher-order topological insulator phase under specific symmetry conditions.
    • Investigated how interband coupling in flatband lattices modifies the logarithmic entanglement entropy scaling of eta-pairing states.
  • 2024 - present

    Seoul, South Korea

    Assistant Instructor, General Physics Laboratory
    Hanyang University, Department of Physics
    • Independently managed all aspects of the laboratory course — designed and delivered instruction, supervised experiments, and grading.
    • 2024: General Physics Experiment 2 (English-only class); 2025: General Physics Experiment 1
  • 2024 - 2024

    Seoul, South Korea

    Undergraduate Researcher (Quantum Geometry Tensor)
    Hanyang University, Department of Physics
    Advisor: Prof. Sang-Jin Sin
    • Demonstrated that Berry curvature percolation plays a key role in determining topological phases in materials.
    • Extended holographic mean field theory to study strongly interacting fermion systems, focusing on symmetry-breaking phenomena and spectral functions.
  • 2022 - 2024

    Seoul, South Korea

    Teaching Assistant
    Hanyang University, Department of Physics
    • 2024: Thermal and Statistical Physics; 2023: Mathematical Physics

    Seoul, South Korea

    Undergraduate Researcher (Particle Experiment Simulation)
    Hanyang University (CERN-CMS collaboration)
    Advisor: Prof. Tae-Jeong Kim
    • Searched for di-Higgs (ttHH) production in the di-lepton state for HL-LHC at 14 TeV using Monte Carlo simulations of Phase-II CMS data.
    • Implemented deep neural networks to enhance b-tagged jet identification and classify ttHH signals from background events.
