Prof. Manh-Huong Phan is a full Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of South Florida, where he directs the Laboratory for Advanced Materials and Sensors. He holds a Ph.D. in Engineering Physics from Bristol University, UK, and has established himself as a leading researcher in nanomagnetism and functional magnetic materials.
- Ph.D.: Engineering Physics, Bristol University, United Kingdom (2006)
- M.S.: Applied Physics, Chungbuk National University, South Korea (2003)
- B.S.: Solid State Physics, Vietnam National University, Vietnam (2000)
His research focuses on nanomagnetism, nanospintronics, smart sensing technologies, energy-efficient multicaloric materials, magnetic nanoparticles, 2D van der Waals magnets, and quantum materials. His work bridges fundamental physics with applications in energy, healthcare, and advanced electronics. He has pioneered discoveries in room-temperature 2D ferromagnetism and light-tunable magnetism in transition metal dichalcogenides, contributing to the emerging field of opto-spin-caloritronics.
The recent publications highlight a strong trend in two-dimensional magnetic materials, particularly vanadium-doped transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), with a focus on achieving and controlling room-temperature ferromagnetism using light and thermal stimuli. His group also advances magnetic sensor technologies, including novel magneto-LC resonance systems for respiratory monitoring, and explores fundamental phenomena like the spin Seebeck effect, exchange bias, and skyrmions in complex oxides and heterostructures.
His scientific contributions have been recognized with numerous honors:
- Faculty Outstanding Research Achievement Award, USF (2017, 2019, 2021)
- Honorary Doctoral Degree, Vietnam National University - Hanoi (2021)
- Outstanding Dissertation Award, APS-GMAG (2022)
- National Research Council (NRC) Fellowship for his student
- Inclusion in the World's Top 2% Scientists list
Prof. Phan is a dedicated mentor, advising numerous graduate and undergraduate students who have won awards for their presentations and research. His group has secured significant funding from agencies like NSF, DOE, NASA, and ARO. He is also active in the academic community as an editor for journals such as Journal of Science: Advanced Materials and Devices (Elsevier) and Scientific Reports (Nature), and as an organizer and chair for major international conferences on magnetism and materials.
He leads a dynamic research team focused on cutting-edge projects in 2D magnetism, smart sensors, and energy materials, with recent innovations including AI-integrated respiratory monitoring for COVID-19 detection and the development of novel magnetocaloric microwires for efficient refrigeration.
