Biography

Youn Jue (Eunice) Bae is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University. Her research group focuses on the interaction of electron spins with excitons, phonons, and magnons in solid-state materials to dynamically control magnetization. The Bae group develops advanced spectroscopic tools that combine optical and microwave techniques to investigate spin dynamics in materials with exceptional temporal and spatial resolution. Current projects include creating two-dimensional magnetic semiconductor-based quantum transducers and exploring spin-phonon, magnon, and exciton interactions that dynamically drive magnetic phase transitions. The group's research also delves into the effects of dimensionality and symmetry breaking on spin-orbit interactions. Insights gained from this research aim to tailor material properties for specific applications, including quantum transducers and hardware-based neural networks. Professor Bae holds a PhD from Northwestern University and completed her postdoctoral work at Columbia University.
