Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolHoang Nguyen is an experimental physicist-turned-educator with 12 years of experience developing ultra-sensitive nanoscale imaging and photonic instrumentation. He earned a Ph.D. in Chemistry and Chemical Biology from Cornell, where he pioneered a scanning-probe protocol to image single electron spins at sub-nanometer resolution and derived SNR expressions combining magnetic resonance with dynamic nuclear polarization. As a postdoc at UW–Madison he led cavity-enhanced Raman spectroscopy work, building microcavities and photonic devices that boosted stimulated Raman signals by orders of magnitude. Since 2020 he has balanced a tenure-track faculty role with hands-on outreach and undergraduate mentorship, creating research programs that probe nanoscale materials across liquid, solid, and gas phases. Hoang pairs deep experimental craftsmanship—custom microscopes, cryogenic measurements, and instrument programming—with grant writing and curriculum development, and he brings a track record of translating delicate lab techniques into teachable, reproducible projects for students. An unadvertised strength is his experience integrating simulation and signal-reconstruction methods (Mathematica, Python, MATLAB) into experimental workflows to accelerate discovery.
