HongWen Jiang

 

 

Professor HongWen Jiang is a condensed matter physisist. He received a Ph.D. degree in physics from Case Western Reserve University in 1989, where he studied under the direction of Prof. Arnold Dahm.  Jiang was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Princeton University from 1989-91, where he worked with Profs. Dan Tsui and Horst Stormer. He joined the Department of Physics at UCLA as an Assistant Professor in 1991. He was promoted to tenure in 1994, and to Full Professor in 1998.  Jiang was an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow (1992-94) and he was the recipient of the 1993 William L. McMillan Award for outstanding contributions in condensed matter physics "for his ground-breaking experiments on the interactions between electrons and magnetic fields in various quantum Hall systems and electron localization phenomena".  He also received the 1996 Overseas Chinese Physics Association Outstanding Young Researcher Award "for the study of the quantum Hall effect and the discovery of the magnetic-field-induced delocalization transition".  He is a fellow of the American Physical Society.  At UCLA, he has been given multiple of outstanding teaching awards by the physics department, including the Teacher of the Year Awards in 2001/2002, 2005/2006 and 2014/2015 .
