Matthew Yeung, Communication Fellow

Communication Fellow
Graduate Student

Matthew is a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate advised by Karl Berggren and Donnie Keathley in the Quantum Nanostructures and Nanofabrication Group, part of the Research Laboratory of Electronics. He has broad research interests, having worked on many projects across chemistry, materials science, physics, and electrical engineering. After receiving his bachelor’s from the University of Southern California, he went to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory where he worked on synthesizing hybrid organic-inorganic coordination polymers and studying their structural properties. Later, he worked at a nanotechnology startup that focused on nanotexturing various glass and plastic materials to achieve anti-fogging surfaces and nanocrystal solar to boost the efficiency of commercial silicon solar cells. 

Matthew currently is a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and received his master’s degree at MIT in 2022. His main focus now is understanding ultrafast processes through the use of on-chip time-domain spectroscopy and the nonlinear generation of EUV. In his free time, he enjoys trying out the latest food trends, exploring new activities and places, and finding new things to add to his bucket list.
