Pablo Jarillo-Herrero (born June 11, 1976, in Valencia) is a Spanish physicist and current Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Physics [1] at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Biography[edit]

Jarillo-Herrero received in 1999 his Licenciatura in physics from the University of Valencia in Spain. Then he spent two years at the University of California, San Diego, where he received a MSc in 2001. In 2005 at the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands he earned his PhD, and continued on to a postdoc. In 2006 he moved to Columbia University, where he worked as a NanoResearch Initiative Fellow. In January 2008 he joined MIT as an assistant professor of physics and received tenure. In 2018 he was promoted to Full Professor of Physics.[2][3]

In 2018 Jarillo-Herrero presented a new 2D-platform to investigate strongly correlated physics, based on graphene moiré superlattices. When two graphene sheets are twisted by an angle close to a magic angle theoretically predicted by Allan MacDonald and Rafi Bistritzer,[4][5][6] the resulting flat band structure near the Dirac point gives rise to a strongly-correlated electronic system. His research demonstrated electrically tunable superconductivity in this system of pure carbon and without an applied magnetic field.[7][8][9]
