Nai Phuan Ong

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nai Phuan Ong (born September 10, 1948 in Penang , Malaysia ) is an American physicist and professor of physics at Princeton University in New Jersey .

Life

Ong immigrated to the United States with his family in 1967. There he studied physics at Columbia College until 1971 and at the University of California at Berkeley from 1971 to 1976, where he received his Ph.D. received. In the same year he became an assistant professor at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. In 1982 he became an associate professor at the same university. Since 1985 he has been a full professor at Princeton University. From 1987 to 1989 he was also a consultant at the David Sarnoff laboratories in Princeton. In 2003 he was appointed Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics. He has been a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences since 2006 and of the US National Academy of Sciences since 2012 .

research

In the 1970s and 1980s, Ong carried out influential work on charge density waves in solids. After the discovery of high temperature superconductivity, Ong worked on transport phenomena in cuprate superconductors. In 2006 he was awarded the Kamerlingh Onnes Prize for this work . Ong is currently researching mainly on Dirac and Weyl semimetals, the thermal Hall effect and topological superconductors .
