Linda Ye

Dr. Linda Ye joined the California Institute of Technology as an Assistant Professor of Physics in September 2023. Prior to joining Caltech, she was a Marvin Chodorow Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University. Dr. Ye received her Ph.D. in Physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2020, her M.Eng. in Applied Physics from University of Tokyo in 2014, and her B.Sc. in Mathematics and Physics from Tsinghua University in 2012. Her research focuses on the design and discovery of topological and strongly correlated quantum materials through the integration of materials synthesis, high-precision transport measurements, and cryogenic strain tuning, with the aim of uncovering emergent electronic phenomena and novel functionalities arising from the quantum mechanical nature of electrons in these materials.
