Biography
Dr. Yen Lee Loh is an assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astrophysics at the University of North Dakota. He received his PhD from the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University in 2005. Prior to that, he received a BA (Hons) and MSci in Physical Natural Sciences, Trinity College, Cambridge University. After obtaining a PhD, he held three-year postdoctoral research positions at Purdue University and The Ohio State University.
Dr. Loh works on the theory of condensed matter systems, where the mutual interaction of large numbers of particles leads to interesting collective behavior. He is particularly interested in the production and detection of novel phases of strongly correlated fermions and bosons, in mathematical models, materials, and ultracold atomic gases. Magnetism, superconductivity, disorder, quantum criticality, and Coulomb blockade effects are recurring themes in his research.
