路克史密斯目前任職成功大學物理系的助理教授。路克於牛津大學獲得電機工程學士與碩士學位，之後在劍橋大學攻讀物理博士。他曾在英國劍橋大學、美國威斯康辛麥迪遜大學和台灣國立成功大學擔任博士後研究員。

他的學術專長為半導體物理與元件，量子傳輸，奈米製程，二維材料與元件，超低溫製冷技術，自旋電子學等。近期研究主軸為二維材料於電子元件開發及應用包括二維半導體與電晶體，以及二維記憶器和憶阻器元件。

Luke Smith serves as Assistant Professor in Physics at National Cheng Kung University, having joined the faculty in 2022. Luke received his bachelors and master’s degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Oxford, U.K., and PhD in Physics from the University of Cambridge, U.K. He has held postdoctoral research positions at the University of Cambridge, U.K., the University of Madison-Wisconsin, USA, and National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan.

His expertise include semiconductor device physics and quantum transport in III-V semiconductors, nanoscale fabrication, two-dimensional (2D) materials, quantum computing, and scalability of quantum devices using multiplexing schemes. His current research focus is on 2D semiconductors and transistors, optimizing design and performance of 2D transistors through fundamental physics investigation, novel device design, as well as 2D memory devices/memtransistors.
