I'm Chulwon Lee, a postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Michigan, working with professor Hui Deng at the physics department.
My research interests include exciton-polaritons in two-dimensional materials, photonic crystals, non-Hermitian physics, Germanium photonics, and nanophotonics in general. I am an experimental physicist with expertise in optical characterization and nanofabrication, but I also very much enjoy exploring numerical/theoretical aspect of optics and photonics.

The topics that interest me recently are (but not limited to):
Strained Germanium Photonics
I am interested in achieving telecommunication frequency lasing from strained Germanium lasers, particularly at an elevated temperature via novel strain/photonic engineering.
Non-Hermitian Photonics/Polaritonics
I am interested in polaritonic implementation of excitons in an optical non-Hermitian system and emerging topological physics from polationic non-Hermitian systems. In particular, photonic implementation of non-Hermicity for achieving novel photonic device is most recent topic that fascinates me.
Exciton-Polaritons
Exciton-polariton is a quasi-particle excitation of an exciton-photon mixture. It has been at the center of attention for its bosonic nature and emerging quantum phenomena. My interests lie in non-Hermitian aspects of exciton-polariton systems.
