In this episode of Fractional Excitations, we speak with Dr. Hung-Yu Yang about his experiences as a physicist. His story begins as an undergraduate in Taiwan where his interests in physics led him to his first theoretical research paper. In moving to the United States and joining Tafti Lab for his PhD studies, Hung-Yu changed his focus to experimental research and made some truly remarkable discoveries in condensed matter physics. In January of 2021, he became the very first graduate of Tafti Lab. We hope you enjoy the episode!
