SUMMARY:Photonics Initiative Seminar: Keji Lai
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Keji Lai\, University of Texas atAustin\nMicrowave Microscopy of Topological Acoustics\nAbstract: Topological phononics offers numerous opportunities in manipulating elastic waves that can propagate in solids without being back-scattered. Due to the lack of nanoscale imaging tools that aid the system design\, however\, spatially resolved acoustic metamaterial studies have been mostly demonstrated in systems operating at kilohertz to megahertz frequencies. In this talk\, I will discuss the visualization of gigahertz valley Hall and spin Hall effects in nanoelectromechanical membranes. Propagation of elastic wave through phononic crystals is directly observed by microwave microscopy with unprecedented sensitivity (sub-100fm) and spatial resolution (sub-100nm). The topologically protected edge states are vividly seen in both real space and momentum space. The robust transport is evident from the wave transmission across local disorder and around sharp corners\, as well as the power distribution into multiple edge channels. Our work paves the way to exploit topological physics in integrated acousto-electronic systems for classical and quantum information processing in the microwave regime. \nBio: \nProfessional Preparation:  \n\nTsinghua University Electrical Engineering B.S. 2001\nPrinceton University Electrical Engineering Ph.D. 2006\nStanford University Applied Physics Postdoc 2006 – 2011\nStanford University Applied Physics Research scientist 2011 – 2012\n\nAppointments:  \n\nProfessor: Physics\, University of Texas at Austin 2024 – Present\nAssociate Professor: Physics\, University of Texas at Austin 2018 – 2024\nAssistant Professor: Physics\, University of Texas at Austin 2012 – 2018\n\nAwards:  \n\nGordon and Betty Moore Foundation Experimental Physics Investigator 2023 – 2028\nTrull Centennial Professorship in Physics\, University of Texas at Austin 2022 – 2025\nPresidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) 2016\nInternational Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) C10 Young Scientist Prize in the Structure and Dynamics of Condensed Matter 2015\nDepartment of Energy EARLY CAREER Award 2013\nKing Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) Global Research Partnership Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at Stanford University 2008 – 2011\nKarel Urbanek Postdoctoral Fellowship\, Stanford University 2006 – 2008\n\nSelected Publications (~ 100 publications\, ~ 11\,000 citations\, h-index: 49): \n\nD.
