Kaiming Cai is a Professor at the School of Physics, Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). He received his Bachelor degree in Applied Physics from Huazhong University of Science and Technology ( Wuhan, China) in 2011 and the Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Beijing, China) in 2017. 

From 2017 to 2020, he worked  as a Research Fellow at the Spin & Energy Lab, National University of Singapore (NUS). Subsequently,  from 2021 to 2023, he worked as a Research Scientist in the Department of Compute and Memory Device at IMEC (Leuven, Belgium), focusing on the R&D of magnetic memory technologies. In 2023, he returned to HUST as a faculty staff, continuing his research in spintronics. 

Since 2011, he has been conducting research in magnetism and spintronics, particular expertise in spin-orbit torque (SOT) effects and their applications in MRAM. His main research interests are ultrafast and field-free switching of SOT devices. He has published over 40 journal and conference papers, including Science, Nature Electronics, Nature Materials, Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Communications, Science Advances, Physical Review Letters, IEEE Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits (VLSI), IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM), Nano Letters, Advanced Materials et al.
