Yu-Tang (Neos) Luo is a Ph.D. student in the Hone Lab at Columbia University. His current research focuses on the fabrication of two-dimensional twist-moiré devices and the study of correlated quantum states in van der Waals heterostructures. He is particularly interested in using optical and electrical measurements to probe the formation, dynamics, and possible ultrafast control of emergent electronic phases in low-dimensional quantum materials.
Neos received his B.S. in Physics from National Tsing Hua University and his M.S. from National Taiwan University. Prior to joining Columbia, he worked as a research assistant in the laboratories of Professors Li-Chyong Chen and Kuei-Hsien Chen, where he studied the vapor-phase growth of transition metal dichalcogenides using CVD, PECVD, and MOCVD techniques, with broader interests in light-matter interactions and exciton dynamics in two-dimensional materials.
