Prof. Kam Tuen Law is a Chair Professor of Physics at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He received his BSc degree from HKUST in 2003 and completed his PhD degree at Brown University in 2008. He then worked as a Croucher Postdoctoral Fellow at MIT with Prof. Patrick Lee. He joined HKUST as an assistant Professor in 2011. Prof. Law studied Majorana zero modes in topological superconductors and made significant contributions in the field, including the predictions of the quantized tunnelling conductance, and the spin-selective Andreev reflections induced by Majorana zero modes. He co-discovered Ising superconductivity in transition metal dichalcogenides with two experimental groups in 2015 and has since uncovered many novel properties of Ising superconductors theoretically. Recently, he is interested in quantum metric effects in flat band materials. Prof. Law received the Croucher Innovation Award in 2015 and the Achievement in Asia Award by the International Organization of Chinese Physicists and Astronomers in 2024. He is an elected fellow of the American Physical Society (2024) and a Hong Kong Research Grants Council Research Fellow (2020). He is the Founding President (2018-2021) of the Hong Kong Young Academy of Sciences.
