Jung-Hwan Song is assistant professor at the national university of Singapore (NUS). He received B. and Ph. D. degree in Physics, advised by Prof. Yong-Hee Lee at KAIST, pushing forward our understanding of the fundamental light-matter interactions. Utilizing Photonic Crystals, Plasmonic, and Mie nanoresonators, he has demonstrated facile manipulation of radiative properties of light-emitting atoms, molecules, and semiconductors. After joining Stanford group led by Prof. Mark L. Brongersma as postdoctoral fellow and research scientist, he applied his expertise to develop novel optical devices and systems. His main research achievements include pioneering new field of nonlocal metasurfaces, demonstrating dynamic optical nanoresonators at the sub-nanometer scale, enhancing light-matter interactions of emerging new materials (e.g., 2D materials). His research aim at NUS is studying the light matter interactions of emerging new materials (2D material, QDs, Perovskite, atomic defects, and so on) and utilizing them to realize novel optical devices and systems that can bring societal benefits through next generation semiconductor, communication, and quantum technologies.

Dr. Jung-Hwan Song has contributed to the field of Nanophotonics and Metasurfaces through a variety of research activities. He has published 29 peer-review international journal publications (SCI/SCIE), including 10 papers in Nature sub-journals (one paper in Nature Nanotechnology and two papers in Nature Communications as the first author). He also conducted independent research activities such as corresponding authored international journal publication (ACS Photonics). He is providing consistent service to the academic community by performing journal reviewing (including 2 Nature Communications) and delivering 7 invited talks in conferences and workshops. His interest in practical application has made 2 granted patents (including a US patent) and 6 US patent applications filed. He was awarded ‘Samsung HumanTech PAPERAWARD,’ ‘Kim Bo-Jeong Scholarships’ during his Ph. D., and ‘K-NRF Postdoctoral Fellowship’ during this postdoctoral period. During the stay at Stanford, he also took the central roles in the proposals and execution of the funded projects with big techs including Samsung, Sony, and Magic Leap (>700,000 USD).
