Eun-Ah Kim (born 1975) is an American condensed matter physicist interested in high-temperature superconductivity, topological order, strange metals, and the use of neural network based machine learning to recognize patterns in these systems.{{r|nature|strange}} She is a professor of physics at Cornell University.{{r|profile}}

Education and career

Kim was born in Jeonju in 1975.{{r|diss}} She graduated from Seoul National University in 1998 with a bachelor's degree in physics, and earned a master's degree there in 2000. She completed her Ph.D. in 2005 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.{{r|profile}} Her dissertation, Quantum Hall Tunnel Junctions: Luttinger Liquid Physics, Quantum Coherence Effect and Fractional Quantum Numbers, was supervised by Eduardo Fradkin.{{r|diss}}

After postdoctoral research at Stanford University, Kim joined the Cornell University faculty in 2008, and was promoted to full professor in 2019.{{r|profile}}

Recognition

In 2020, Kim was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), after a nomination from the APS Division of Condensed Matter Physics, "for broad contributions to theoretical condensed matter physics, including new conceptual frameworks for interpreting experiments".{{r|faps}} In 2022 she was awarded a Simons Fellowship.{{Cite web |date=2022-02-18 |title=2022 Simons Fellows in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics Announced |url=https://www.simonsfoundation.org/2022/02/18/2022-simons-fellows-in-mathematics-and-theoretical-physics-announced/ |access-date=2022-07-04 |website=Simons Foundation |language=en-US}}
