Philip Kim (physicist)

Philip Kim is a condensed matter experimental physicist, primarily known for his work on graphene and other two-dimensional materials. He is a Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Harvard University.

Kim's research focuses on exploring the novel electronic, thermal, and mechanical properties of atomically thin materials. His group has made significant contributions to the understanding of quantum transport phenomena in graphene, including the observation of the quantum Hall effect, the discovery of the Dirac Fermion behavior, and the demonstration of high-mobility transistors.

Prior to joining Harvard, Kim was a professor at Columbia University. He received his Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Harvard University in 1999 and his B.S. in Physics from Seoul National University in 1994.

Kim has received numerous awards and honors for his research, including the Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Physics Prize from the American Physical Society, the Ho-Am Prize in Science, and the Dresden Barkhausen Award. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
