Ho-Ung Yee

Ho-Ung Yee is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Illinois at Chicago. His research spans theoretical physics, focusing on Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and its implications in high-energy and condensed matter systems.

• Education:
  • MS in Physics (1999) from Seoul National University
  • PhD in Physics (2003) from Yale University

Research Interests:
Dr. Yee explores the fundamental aspects of QCD, particularly through heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC, where extreme QCD matter states are created. His work bridges high-energy physics and condensed matter physics, especially in the context of Dirac/Weyl semimetals. Recent studies include anomaly-induced transport phenomena and chiral magnetic effects.

Publications:
His 15 most recent articles (4 shown here) reflect expertise in QCD, chiral anomalies, quantum transport, and collective phenomena in high-energy matter. Key themes include perturbative methods, hydrodynamics, and spin polarization dynamics.
