Our research interests are to understand the novel physical properties of strongly correlated materials of fundamental interest, and to further develop their potential for infrared and terahertz applications, especially in the field of metasurfaces and nanophotonics. Our laboratory is supported by the University of Texas System and the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. Open Positions We are looking for highly
motivated graduate students with strong interest in the nanophotonics
and metasurfaces research. If interested, please
contact to Prof. Kim (myounghwan.kim @utrgv.edu). Feb. 7, 2018
Prof. Kim received 2018 Outstanding Young Researcher Award from AKPA.org for
his study of modern materials (low dimensional, topological, and correlated
system) with terahertz and infrared lasers. Dec. 13, 2017
