Biography and Work

Ham spent formative years in Busan, South Korea. He received his B.S. in physics from Seoul National University in 1996 and his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Caltech in 2002, where his dissertation work on the statistical physics of electrical circuits earned him the Charles Wilts Prize.[1]

He joined the faculty of Harvard University in 2002 as an assistant professor, and became an associate professor in 2006, John L. Loeb Associate Professor of the Natural Sciences in 2007, and Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering in 2009.

Ham's current research is on: scalable NMR spectroscopy for biotechnology, structural biology, and drug discovery;[2] low-dimensional nanoscale materials and quantum materials;[3][4] nano-bio interface for neurotechnology and molecular diagnostics;[5][6][7][8] complex systems; and RF/microwave, analog, & mixed-signal integrated circuits.[9][10]

Ham's awards[11] include the recognition by MIT Technology Review as among the world's top 35 young innovators under the age 35 (TR35) in 2008.[12] He is a 4-time Harvard Yearbook Favorite Professor (2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014), and was one of the 8 Harvard Thinks Big speakers in 2012 (8 Harvard faculty chosen by college-wide votes).[13]
