Education and academic appointment

2017 Sept- Now Associate Professor, Institute of Modern Physics, Fudan University

2014 -2017 Postdoctoral Fellow, Los Alamos National Lab

2011–2014 Postdoctoral Research Associate, MIT

2007-2011 PhD, The Ohio State University

1998-2005 BS and graduate student, Korea University

Research Interests

Professor Kang’s is interests involve theoretical nuclear and particle physics. In particular, he focuses on the development and application of effective field theories to answer fundamental questions about interactions between elementary particles specifically focusing on the strong interaction described by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Effective field theory is a generic idea enables to determine relevant degrees of freedom and symmetry of a system based on rigorous power counting expansion and to make precise quantum field theory predictions. He developed a velocity resummation in quarkonium production by using Non-relativistic QCD and explained a scaling behavior and its violation in ultracold atom system by applying Nucleon effective theory. His current researches focuses on prediction for jet productions at high-energy colliders by using Soft-Collinear Effective Theory.

Professor Kang is looking for outstanding PhD students wants to major in theoretical nuclear/particle physics and is offering an internship chance to well-motivated undergraduate students willing to taste theoretical physics.
