Dr. Yi Yang‘s research is primarily centered on optical physics and photonics. This research is expected to contribute to the development of a unified mesoscopic framework for nanoscale electromagnetic phenomena, which holds immense potential for exploring the light-matter interaction at interface. Dr. Yue Gao‘s research areas are energy storage and conversation, batteries, and organic materials. This research is expected to contribute to the field of electrochemical energy storage and explore in the development of organic materials for transformative energy storage systems. Dr. Tomoki Ozawa‘s research areas are condensed matter theory, atomic molecular and optical physics, and topological insulators, which has a great deal of potential for the direction of many-body physics in synthetic and tunable AMO platforms. This research is expected to contribute to the topological states in photonics crystals with synthetic dimensions. Dr. Huaxing Zhu‘s research areas are the theoretical high energy physics that has the potential to contribute to the application of quantum field theory in high energy collider physics. This could lead to the exploration of first-principle quantum field theory operator algebra, precision quantum chromodynamics phenomenology, and high precision data from LHC experiments.

Asian Young Scientist Fellowship – 2023 Mathematics and Computer Science Fellow

The domain of Mathematics and Computer Science consists of research that is vital in advancing our understanding of nature and our physical world and developing new theories and technologies that transform our daily lives. Two young scientists from mainland China and Korea in the Mathematics field and two young scientists from Singapore and Hong Kong SAR in the Computer Science field are selected as the recipients of the Fellowship due to their merits and scientific prospects.
