Mingu Kang (강민구) is a South Korean physicist specializing in quantum materials. He is an assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Seoul National University.[5] His research focuses on the electronic properties of kagome lattice systems and topological materials using spectroscopic techniques.[3]
Education and career
Kang received his B.S. degree in physics from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in 2015, graduating first in a class of 300.[2] He earned his Ph.D. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2023 under the supervision of Riccardo Comin.[3] His dissertation was titled "Quantum Materials Based on the Kagome Lattice".[3] He also completed an S.M. degree at MIT in 2020.[4]
After his doctorate, Kang was a Kavli Postdoctoral Fellow at the Kavli Institute for Nanoscience at Cornell University from 2023 to 2025.[5] He joined the faculty of Seoul National University in 2025.[5]
Kang's research utilizes angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) to investigate materials with exotic quantum properties, particularly those with a kagome lattice structure.[6] His work has included studies of electronic phenomena in kagome metals such as FeSn, CoSn, and CsV₃Sb₅, including the observation of Dirac fermions, flat energy bands, and charge density waves.[7][6][8][9] In 2025, a paper co-authored by Kang presented an experimental measurement of the quantum geometric tensor in solids.[10]
