Philip Kim is a South Korean experimental solid-state physicist who studies graphene and two-dimensional nanostructures in general.

Kim studied at Seoul National University with a bachelor's degree in 1990 and a master's degree in 1992 and received her PhD in applied physics ( Fundamental properties and applications of low-dimensional materials ) at Harvard University in 1999 with Charles M. Lieber . As a post-doctoral student , he was a Miller Research Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley , until 2001 , and then at de Columbia University . From 2014 he was a professor at Harvard University.

He investigated the electrical, thermal and thermoelectric properties of electron transport in low-dimensional mesoscopic solid-state structures and in particular in graphene. His group also investigates organic and inorganic nanowires, two-dimensional mesoscopic crystals and individual organic molecules for electronic properties.

In 1999 he demonstrated with Lieber electrostatically controlled carbon nanotubes (an NEMS ) and in 2005 electrical measurements on thin graphite films with an atomic force microscope and observed the quantum Hall effect (QHE) in graphs independently of Andre Geim and in 2007 he found the QHE in graphs with Geim even at room temperature. In 2007 he found a band gap for electron transport in lithographically generated patterns of graphene (nano-ribs), which opened the prospect of using electronic switches and amplifiers with graphene. In 2009 he made graphene films with CVD . Also in 2009 he demonstrated the fractional QHE in graphs with Horst Störmer .

In 2008 Kim received the Ho Am Prize and in 2014 the Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Prize for the discovery of unusual electronic properties of graphene (laudation). He received the Dresden Barkhausen Award and the IBM Faculty Award. In 2017 he gave the Van Vleck Lecture and in 2020 Kim was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences .

Andrea Young is one of his PhD students .
