Short Biography

Lee’s interests spans applied and fundamental research of 2D materials. He is one of the first to develop freestanding complex oxide – 2D material hybrid devices which currently hold the record for the fastest ferroelectric bulk acoustic wave resonance of >200 GHz. He also co-developed a mechanical resonance method for probing electronic and magnetic transitions. As a subgroup leader at LMU Munich, he developed one of the first quantum twisting microscopes in Europe, which was used to probe the electron-electron interactions in graphene. Now, as an assistant professor at TU Eindhoven, he aims to investigate the electronic properties of 2D materials that have undergone mechanical intervention. By taking advantage of the strong in-plane and weak out-of-plane bonds, 2D materials can be strained, twisted and slid past each other, which greatly influence their electronic properties. The focus of the Lee group is to harness these methodologies to expand the quantum phase diagrams of correlated 2D materials.
