| Biography |
| Chong Yidong graduated from Stanford University in 2003 with a BSc in Physics. In 2008, he obtained a Ph.D in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, working in the research group of Prof. Marin Soljacic. From 2009-2011, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Yale University. In 2012, he received the Singapore National Research Foundation (NRF) Fellowship and joined the faculty at Nanyang Technological University as an Assistant Professor in the Division of Physics and Applied Physics. |
| Research Interests |
| My research interests lie in the field of theoretical optics and photonics. Research topics include lasers and optical absorbers, scattering theory, nanoplasmonics, and photonic crystals. Most recently, my work on "coherent perfect absorbers" (performed at Yale) was published in Science and featured in numerous popular science reports including in the New York Times. A sample of current research topics is available on my group webpage. |
