Pablo Jarillo-Herrero
Pablo Jarillo-Herrero (born June 11, 1976 in Valencia ) is a Spanish solid state physicist and university professor in the USA.
biography
Jarillo-Herrero studied physics at the University of Valencia with a licentiate in 1999 and from the University of California, San Diego , with a master’s degree in 2001. He received his doctorate in 2005 from the TU Delft . As a post-doctoral student he was in Delft and at Columbia University (NanoResearch Initiative). In 2008 he became an Assistant Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , where he became a full professor in 2018 and is Cecilia and Ida Green Professor of Physics .
He deals with experimental solid-state physics, especially quantum properties of electronic transport and optoelectronics in novel two-dimensional materials and especially the investigation of superconducting, magnetic and topological properties.
In experiments with tiny flakes of graphene , carbon atoms were arranged in a symmetrical two-dimensional manner on two coated glass supports lying on top of one another and twisted against each other. This combined system showed unexpected electronic properties. Allan H. MacDonald and Rafi Bistritzer had predicted a new type of superconductivity for a "magic" angle of 1.1 degrees , which Jarillo-Herrero and his group confirmed in experiments in 2017. Her publication in Nature 2018 sparked a spate of other publications.
In 2009 he became a Sloan Research Fellow and a Packard Fellow. In 2017 and 2018 he was one of the highly cited scientists at Clarivate. In 2018 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society .
Awards
- In 2012 he received a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientist and Engineers (PECASE).
- In 2020 he received the Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Prize for the discovery of superconductivity in twisted double-layer graphene (laudation).
- 2020 Wolf Prize in Physics with Allan H. Macdonald and Rafi Bistritzer for pioneering work of a theoretical and experimental nature on mutually twisted double-layer graphs (laudation).
