Hae-Young Kee is an Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Toronto.  She received her B.S. (1989), M.S. (1993), and Ph.D. (1996) from Seoul National University in Korea, and also holds a Diploma from the International Center for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy (1992).  After completing her studies, Prof. Kee became a post-doctoral fellow at Rutgers University, and worked as a consultant for Bell Labs (Lucent Technologies) and the NEC Research Lab at Princeton.  In 1998, she moved to another post-doctoral position at the University of California at Los Angeles, and in September 2001 she took up her current position at the University of Toronto and became a Scholar in CIAR’s Superconductivity Program (now called the Quantum Materials Program).

Prof. Kee received the Alfred Sloan Foundation Fellowship in 2003.  She was appointed as a Canada Research Chair (Tier II) in 2002, and this appointment was renewed for another five years in 2007. 

Prof. Kee's area of research is in theoretical condensed matter physics.  She specializes in the study of strongly correlated electron systems, especially high temperature superconductivity in cuprates, anisotrophic and/or inhomogeneous quantum states, and unconventional superconductivity in ruthenates, as well as quantum magnetism.
