Junichiro Kono is a professor in the Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Physics and Astronomy, and Materials Science and NanoEngineering, at Rice University.

Bio

Junichiro Kono received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in applied physics from the University of Tokyo in 1990 and 1992, respectively, and completed his Ph.D. in physics from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1995. He was a postdoctoral research associate in condensed matter physics at the University of California Santa Barbara from 1995-1997, and the W. W. Hansen Experimental Physics Laboratory Fellow in the Department of Physics at Stanford University from 1997-2000. He joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Rice University in 2000 as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2005 and to Professor in 2009. He is currently a Professor in the Departments of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Physics & Astronomy, and Materials Science & Nanoengineering at Rice University.[1] His research focuses on optical studies of condensed matter systems and photonic applications of nanosystems, including semiconductor nanostructures and carbon-based nanomaterials.[2] He has made a number of pioneering contributions to the diverse fields of semiconductor optics, terahertz spectroscopy and devices, ultrafast and quantum optics, and condensed matter physics.[3] In 2009 he was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society[4] and, in 2015, he was elected a Fellow of the Optical Society of America.[5]

Research

The Kono Lab's research focuses on optical studies of condensed matter systems and photonic applications of nanosystems, including semiconductor nanostructures and carbon-based nanomaterials.[2] He has made a number of pioneering contributions to the diverse fields of semiconductor optics, terahertz spectroscopy and devices, ultrafast and quantum optics, and condensed matter physics.[3]

Kono Lab

Prof. Kono's research is currently focused on the physics and applications of semiconductor nanostructures and quantum device structures. They use state-of-the-art spectroscopic techniques to study charge, spin, and vibrational dynamics in a variety of nanostructures. The impact of their research includes: increased understanding of the quantum states and dynamics of interacting, confined, or strongly driven electrons in nanostructures; new spectroscopy techniques; novel device concepts and implementations (especially towards all-optical switches and spin-based devices); establishment of the quantum nature of semiconductor-light interaction; progress towards the solid-state realization of quantum information processing, computation and communications; and provision of a controlled environment in which to address unanswered questions in many-body physics.

RAMBO: Rice Advanced Magnet with Broadband Optics

Kono's lab has developed a truly unique experimental facility, called the Rice Advanced Magnet with Broadband Optics (RAMBO).[6] This facility houses an ultracompact pulsed magnet capable of producing a peak field of 30 Tesla, combined with an arsenal of state-of-the-art instruments for modern materials research. A unique feature of this system is the marriage of a strong magnetic field and ultrashort laser pulses from nearly “DC to daylight.” This unconventional coupling of two extreme conditions will likely lead to new scientific knowledge, advancing the frontier of materials research.

Research highlights of the Kono Lab

Educational Initiatives and International Collaboration/Internationalization

In collaboration with his colleagues Sarah Phillips (Rice University) and Dr. Cheryl Matherly (University of Tulsa), Kono established the nationally recognized[43][44][45] NSF-PIRE funded NanoJapan: IREU program (2006 - 2015).[46] Based on this program model, Kono and Rice University were selected by the Nakatnai Foundation of Japan to implement their 2016 - 2018 Nakatani RIES: Research and International Experience Fellowship for U.S. and Japanese undergraduates. Kono and Phillips have also received funding from the U.S.-Japan Council's TOMODACHI Initiative for the development of the 2016 - 2018 TOMODACHI STEM @ Rice University program for female Japanese undergraduates.

Kono has also developed an online ELEC 261: Electronic Materials and Quantum Devices[47] course that is offered during the summer term and open to students worldwide.

International Collaboration and Internationalization Efforts

As a faculty member at Rice, Kono has been instrumental to the initiation and implementation of numerous Memorandum of Understanding (MOUs) between Rice University and institutions worldwide including:

  • June 2018: Rice signs MOU with Federal University of Toulouse Midi-Pyrénées[48] (France)
