Originally from Taipei, Taiwan, Yung received their B.S.E. in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University in 2015. Their undergraduate research focused on the environmental and biomedical applications of quantum cascade lasers, and on the development of GaN as novel materials for quantum cascade emitters. Since joining the Quantum Engineering Laboratory at Penn, they have shifted towards exploring the potential of bulk and nano diamonds as platforms for integrated quantum devices. Yung’s current research focuses on realizing novel architectures for compact, diamond-based quantum devices through three approaches: leveraging the scale and sensitivity of nanodiamonds, integrating optical interfaces of bulk diamond, and miniaturizing classical electronic components of quantum measurement apparatus.  They have collaborated closely with Prof. Tsourkas and Prof. Aflatouni’s group, both at Penn, to realize these interdisciplinary  projects. Yung successfully defended their dissertation, “Integrated diamond-based devices for quantum sensing and communication,” in May of 2022. Yung was nominated an iREDEFINE fellow in 2020 and an UC Berkeley EECS Rising Star in 2020. They were also nominated a Fontaine Society Fellow of University of Pennsylvania in 2020.
