Ki Wook Kim

Dr. Ki Wook Kim is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at North Carolina State University. His research focuses on semiconductor physics, quantum transport, magnetoelectronics, and optoelectronic devices. He holds a Ph.D. (1988) and Master's (1985) in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and a Bachelor's in Electronics Engineering from Seoul National University.

His research interests include quantum computing, low-dimensional materials, and topological insulators. He has pioneered studies on electrical control of magnetic textures in Weyl semimetals, antiferromagnetic domain walls, and carrier-induced ferromagnetism. Recent work emphasizes scalable fabrication of 2D heterostructures and voltage-tunable electromagnetic properties in novel materials.

Dr. Kim has received significant funding, including a $420k NSF grant for topological insulator research and a $475k award from the University of Texas-Austin. His lab explores next-generation electronics leveraging spintronics, valleytronics, and quantum phenomena. Collaborative projects span semiconductor device modeling, nanostructured materials, and high-frequency electronics.
