Tai Kong is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics-Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Arizona (2019–present). He holds joint faculty status in Physical Chemistry. His research focuses on synthesizing and characterizing inorganic compounds with novel magnetic/electronic properties to understand emergent behaviors in quantum materials. Key specialities include Chemical Physics, Energy Science, and materials synthesis.
Education: B.S., Shandong University (2010); Ph.D., Iowa State University (2016). Postdoctoral training at Princeton University (2016–2019).
Research interests emphasize designing materials where chemistry and physics principles converge to control electronic behaviors. Recent work explores magnetic ordering in archimedean lattices, topological connectivity in Weyl kagome lattices, and strain effects in van der Waals ferromagnets. His lab combines crystallographic synthesis with advanced characterization techniques to study quantum phenomena.
Publications highlight interdisciplinary advances in magnetic materials, including discoveries related to anomalous Hall effects, topological semimetals, and quasicrystalline systems. The most cited work examines temperature-dependent spin-orbital interactions in VI₃ ferromagnets and tuning magnetoresistance in Kondo lattice systems.
