Liang Feng

Liang Feng is a Professor in Materials Science and Engineering and Electrical and Systems Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Engineering and Applied Science. He was selected for the 2024 Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Experimental Physics Investigators Initiative cohort, receiving $1.25 million for high-risk, high-reward quantum photonics research.

Research Focus: Feng investigates photonic hyperentanglement, where photons exhibit multiple mirrored quantum properties simultaneously. His work aims to advance chip-scale quantum communication, computing, and key distribution by exploring high-dimensional symmetries in hybrid material platforms. The Feng Group develops integrated quantum photonic systems for noise-resilient, large-scale distributed quantum networks.

Awards & Equity Efforts: As part of the Moore Foundation's initiative, Feng will foster inclusivity in Penn Engineering's departments while recruiting diverse research talent to bring varied perspectives to quantum technology innovation.
