Biography

Hyowon Moon received his B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering (EE) and M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) from Seoul National University (SNU) in 2010 and 2012, respectively. He worked at the national laboratory in Korea (Korea Institute of Science and Technology, KIST) before he starts his Ph.D. course in 2015. He was a recipient of Samsung Scholarship for the course, then he received a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2021, under the supervision of Prof. Dirk Englund. His research interests during the course include the control of excitons and quantum emitters (or single-photon emitters) in two-dimensional (2D) materials. He is currently a Senior Research Scientist at KIST in Seoul, Korea.
