Jingwen Ma is a researcher at the University of Hong Kong, specializing in photonic/phononic chips, III-V lasers, and light–matter interaction. Their work explores advanced photonic integrated circuits, including bound states in the continuum and topological photonic structures based on valley kink states. They investigate nanomechanical topological insulators, chiral edge states in nanomechanical graphene, and topological Dirac-vortex microcavity lasers on silicon. Research also includes dual-band nano-electromechanical valley-Hall topological metamaterials, terahertz topological photonic waveguide switches, and hybrid graphene/silicon integrated optical isolators with photonic spin-orbit interaction. Their studies focus on orbital angular momentum (OAM) erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, exciton polaritons in two-dimensional semiconductors, and optically controlled topologically protected acoustic wave amplification.
