Dasom Kim is a postdoctoral researcher in the Junichiro Kono Laboratory at Rice University, specializing in experimental condensed matter physics and quantum optics. He received his Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Rice University in 2025, where his research focused on ultrastrong vacuum–matter interactions, including the Dicke superradiant phase transition and nonlinear polariton dynamics in semiconductors and magnetic systems. His expertise spans terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, nanofabrication, and ultrafast optical measurements at cryogenic temperatures (down to 1.4 K) under high magnetic fields.
Dr. Kim was a Smalley–Curl Institute Innovative Research Fellow and a recipient of the KSEA–KUSCO Graduate Scholarship. He earned his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Physics from Seoul National University in 2015 and 2017, respectively. From 2017 to 2020, he worked as a research associate in Prof. Dai-Sik Kim’s group, conducting extensive research on terahertz metamaterials and nanogap-enhanced light–matter interactions.
