The International Workshop on Orbitronics 2027 will be held at Korea University from 25–28 January 2027
This international scientific event will bring together leading researchers and emerging scientists working in orbitronics and, more broadly, on the quantum dynamics and transport of angular momentum in materials and devices. The workshop will provide a forum for sharing recent advances, exchanging ideas, and discussing future directions in this rapidly developing field.
Registration deadline: 30 November 2026
Abstract submission deadline: 15 December 2026
Workshop dates: January 25–28, 2027

Quantum Transport from Electronic Structure to Device Functionality
At GO-LAB, we conducts theoretical research on how quantum information carried by electrons moves through materials.
Electrons in quantum materials carry much more than charge. Their quantum states encode spin, orbital motion, wavefunction geometry, chirality, and multipolar degrees of freedom. These hidden forms of quantum information can generate exotic transport phenomena and provide new principles for controlling matter at the nanoscale.
Our group develops microscopic theories of quantum transport to understand how this information emerges from electronic structure, how it propagates through materials and interfaces, and how it can be manipulated for next-generation nanoelectronics and quantum devices.
We aim to bridge electronic structure, quantum dynamics, and device functionality by identifying microscopic origins of transport phenomena and establishing design principles for future quantum technologies.
