It’s the middle of September, and I’ve had the chance to expand my teaching beyond HCCS. First is the recent invitation for me to join the Chesapeake Math Program faculty, which I gladly accepted. It is certainly a huge honor for me to receive this teaching endorsement. Next is the establishment of a physics club at school which has also been going well. Our first meeting is set to be on September 19. I’ve added two new pages to my Teaching section and will be posting more information!

I have been interested in physics since I was little when I learned about the solar system and gravity. Physics to me is the understanding of how nature works. The process of writing a mathematical equation to describe nature fundamentally is powerful and intriguing to me. Formulas that govern the cosmos. Physics is very exciting because it is also the foundation for scientific advancements that make our technologies possible. From cars and refrigerators to light bulbs and computers, physics affects everyone in their daily lives. There is huge research potential in this area with consequential implications and societal impact. The physics questions that intrigue me involve gaining a better understanding of new phenomena. In particular, I am fascinated by systems that exhibit interesting behavior which can potentially be developed into useful technologies.

Kevin S. Huang is a rising sophomore at Stanford University with extensive research and teaching experience in physics. He is an invited Associate Member of Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Honor Society, invited Member of the National Space Society, and Member of the Society of Physics Students. As a two-time silver medalist of the USA Physics Olympiad, Kevin is ranked among the top 100 physics students in the nation.

In high school, he conducted research on quantum error correction, studying the theoretical conditions to perform joint measurements in quantum dot systems. Kevin was invited to present this work at various regional events and his project won numerous awards, including the Grand Prize in Physical Science at the Baltimore Science Fair, an all-expenses paid trip to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, and a full college scholarship from Towson University. Later, Kevin was invited as a visiting student to Johns Hopkins University where he studied the annihilation of domain walls in ferromagnets. His subsequent publication in Physical Review B was presented at the APS Match Meeting and a physics workshop at the Max Planck Institute. Currently, his research is in condensed matter theory of the quantum Hall regime.

For the past three years, Kevin has kept his teaching and tutoring activities active in the community. He co-founded the Howard County Chinese School Physics Program where he taught Olympiad Physics and AP Physics. Since joining the Chesapeake Math Program, he has taught multiple Physics Olympiad programs. Kevin has also been involved in various service activities, including serving as Associate Editor of the Stanford Undergraduate Research Journal, volunteer judging for science fairs, and publishing various teaching scenarios for students. He maintains an active blog (kevinshuang.com) used by numerous students including the prestigious Thomas Jefferson High School Physics Team. In his spare time, Kevin is a dedicated pianist, having performed at many prestigious venues in the US and abroad as well as at numerous hospitals, senior centers, universities, and government institutions.
