Min Gyu Kim is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. His research focuses on quantum materials, particularly exploring quantum mechanical effects and their interplay in exotic materials using advanced scattering techniques like x-ray and neutron scattering. He synthesizes materials via solid-state reactions, high-temperature solution growth, and floating-zone optical furnaces.
Dr. Kim holds a B.S. and M.S. in Physics from the University of Seoul (2004–2006), followed by a Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Physics from Iowa State University (2012). He held postdoctoral positions at the University of California, Berkeley/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (2012–2016) and Rutgers University (2016–2020).
His research interests emphasize understanding lattice, charge, and spin dynamics in quantum materials. Key areas include spin-liquid states, antiferromagnetic domain imaging, and quantum critical phenomena in superconductors. Recent work has investigated materials such as Li2CuO2, TbInO3, and BaFe2As2.
Notable achievements include receiving the Zaffarano Prize for exceptional Ph.D. research and pioneering studies on magnetic domain visualization via X-ray and neutron scattering. His lab, the Kim Scattering Lab, focuses on advanced scattering methodologies and material synthesis.
Publications highlight studies on magnetic ordering, spin resonances, and phase transitions in quantum materials, reflecting his expertise in combining experimental and theoretical approaches to uncover material behavior.
