About

Jong-Hoon Kang is a pioneering materials scientist whose work centers on the robotic assembly of van der Waals solids and the development of advanced two-dimensional (2D) heterostructures. His most significant contribution is the invention of a robotic four-dimensional pixel assembly method, which enables the precise, automated stacking of atomically thin materials to create artificial solids with tailored electronic and optical properties. This breakthrough, detailed in his highly cited 2022 paper (140 citations), overcomes the limitations of manual transfer techniques, offering unprecedented scalability and reproducibility for constructing complex van der Waals architectures. By integrating robotics with 2D material manipulation, Kang has opened new avenues for exploring quantum phenomena and fabricating next-generation devices, including twistronic systems and moiré superlattices. His work has been recognized for its transformative potential in nanotechnology, bridging the gap between fundamental research and practical device manufacturing. With his innovative approach, Kang is shaping the future of materials assembly, making him a key figure in the advancement of van der Waals heterostructures and their applications in electronics and photonics.
