Fuyang Tay earned his B.S. degree in Physics from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore in 2018. He began working as a project officer in NTU for a year, where he was involved in a computational project regarding the dynamic of electromagnetic field excitation on a metal surface by a swift electron. He was also engaged in research of an invisibility cloak for fluid flow before joining Dr. Kono’s lab. At Rice, his research interests included ultrastrong light-matter coupling, ultrafast phenomena in condensed matter physics and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques.
