Welcome to GO-Lab @KU Physics!

We are a condensed-matter theory and simulation group at the Department of Physics, College of Science, Korea University. 

The ultimate goals of the research in GO-Lab are to unveil quantum-mechanical nature of electron transport in nanoscale devices and establish design principles of the wavefunction in novel materials.  

Our Philosophy

Rather than following trends, we pursue questions of our own. 

We work on important problems, even if recognition takes time. 

We build values that last, independent of external pressures. 

We ask: Is this a question worthy of a lifetime of curiosity and commitment?

At GO-Lab, we seek answers to these fundamental questions by bridging quantum properties of matter with non-equilibrium dynamics and transport. Our work aims to uncover the microscopic principles governing quantum transport in novel materials and to transform them into design rules for next-generation quantum devices. Our research mission includes:

• Predicting new types of quantum dynamics and transport phenomena and identifying their microscopic origins.

• Establishing design principles by developing first-principles and model-based approaches to quantum materials.

• Discovering new materials platforms and transport mechanisms for quantum device applicatoins such as spintronics, orbitronics and beyond.

For more details on our activities, please refer to Research and Publications.

We value curiosity, creativity, and bold thinking. If you have any crazy ideas or puzzling experimental data, please do not hesitate to reach out for discussion and collaboration!

For prospective students

We are seeking passionate PhD students who are eager to explore the frontiers of condensed matter physics. Internship is also available for motivated Bachelor students.
