Wen Wei Ho obtained his PhD in physics at the University of Geneva in 2017 in the group of Dmitry Abanin, his MSc in physics at the University of Waterloo and Perimeter Institute of Theoretical Physics in 2014 working with Guifre Vidal, and his BA in physics from Princeton University in 2013. In 2017-2020 he was a Moore postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University where he worked primarily with Mikhail Lukin and Eugene Demler, while in 2020-2022 he was a postdoctoral research fellow at Stanford University, based at the Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials and Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics.

Since 2022, Wen Wei has been an Assistant Professor at the Department of Physics NUS, where he holds the title of Presidential Young Professor, and is also the recipient of the Singapore National Research Foundation Fellowship 2023. His research focuses on developing theories to understand both the fundamental and applied aspects of the dynamics of quantum many-body systems: what are novel quantum phases of matter one can find far-out-of-equilibrium, and how do we characterise their universality? How does one realise these phases in quantum simulators of today? How can one control and harness their properties for useful applications in quantum information science, like for quantum state tomography or measurement-based quantum computation?
