Professor Lingyan Hung is a prominent theoretical physicist specialising in high-energy physics, condensed matter physics, and quantum information theory. Her research focuses on the interplay between quantum field theory, gravity, and strongly correlated systems, with applications to holography, quantum entanglement, and topological phases of matter. She has made significant contributions to the understanding of the AdS/CFT correspondence, quantum entanglement entropy, tensor network constructions, and emergent phenomena in condensed matter systems.
