Hui Deng

Hui Deng is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on quantum states in matter-light coupled systems, particularly exciton-polaritons in semiconductors and 2D materials.

• Education: Ph.D. (2006) and M.S. (2003) from Stanford University; B.S. (1999) from Tsinghua University.

Current projects include:

• Quantum phenomena in open cavity-QED systems
• Quantum photonics and plasmonics with wide bandgap materials
• Optical vortex generation and detection

Her recent publications highlight advancements in 2D material photonics, polariton engineering, and quantum control techniques. Research trends emphasize moiré physics, ultrafast optical circuits, and topological photonic states.
