American physicist
Charles L. Kane (Charles Lewis Kane; born January 12, 1963) is a
theoretical
condensed matter physicist and is the Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Physics at the
University of Pennsylvania. He completed a B.S. in physics at the
University of Chicago in 1985 and his Ph.D. at
Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1989. Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania he was a postdoctoral associate at
IBM's
T. J. Watson Research Center working with his mentor
Matthew P. A. Fisher, among others.
Kane is notable for theoretically predicting the
quantum spin Hall effect (originally in graphene) and what would later be known as
topological insulators.
[1]
[2]
He received the 2012
Dirac Prize, along with
Shoucheng Zhang and
Duncan Haldane, for their groundbreaking work on two- and three-dimensional
topological insulators.
[3]
[4] In the same year he was also chosen for the inaugural class of Mathematics and the Physical Sciences
Simons Investigators.
[5]
[6] He also shared one of the 2013
Physics Frontiers prizes with
Laurens Molenkamp and
Shoucheng Zhang for their work on topological insulators.
[7]
In 2018 he shared the
Frontiers of Knowledge Award with
Eugene Mele. In 2019 was recognized with
Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics with fellow University of Pennsylvania professor Eugene Mele, again for work on topological insulators.
