Vic Kam Tuen LAW

Chair Professor of Physics

Research interest

Prof. Vic Law is interested in condensed matter theory in general with most of his recent works related to the study of Majorana fermions, topological materials and unconventional superconductors. More recently, Prof. Law has become interested in studying the quantum properties of moiré materials (such as twisted bilayer graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides), chiral and achiral crystals with strong spin-orbit coupling, and their applications in electronic devices.

Biography

After graduating from HKUST in 2003, Prof. Law pursued his graduate study in MIT and received his PhD in 2008. After spending one year as a joint postdoctoral fellow of HKUST-IAS and MIT, he moved to MIT in 2009 as a Croucher Postdoctoral Fellow. Since 2011, Prof. Law has become a faculty member in the Department of Physics of HKUST and his research is now supported by HKRGC, the Croucher Foundation and Dr. Tai-chin LO.
