Biography

Eun-Ah Kim is the Hans Bethe Professor in the Department of Physics at Cornell University. Her research focuses on theoretical condensed-matter physics, particularly on strongly correlated systems, high temperature superconductivity, quantum criticality, and topological phases. She has made significant contributions to understanding collective phenomena in condensed matter systems, particularly those arising from strongly interacting degrees of freedom. Over the past two decades, she has explored rich and diverse phenomena that emerge in these systems, especially in response to new experimental discoveries and advancements in materials fabrication. Her work often involves collaboration with experimental colleagues, contributing to a deeper understanding of the synergy between theoretical studies and experimental observations. Eun-Ah has also been an advocate for using neural network-based machine learning techniques to address complex challenges in her field. She has mentored graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, fostering the next generation of physicists. She received her B.S. and M.S. in Physics from Seoul National University and obtained her Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she has also received several awards for excellence in teaching and research.
