Chun Ning "Jeanie" Lau is an American physicist who is a Professor of Quantum Materials at Ohio State University. Her research considers materials for quantum technologies, including van der Waals materials and superconductors. She was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2017.

Early life and education

[edit]

Lau studied physics at the University of Chicago. She moved to Harvard University for graduate research where Michael Tinkham was her doctoral advisor.[1] After completing her doctorate, Lau joined Hewlett Packard Labs, where she worked as a research associate.[2]

Research and career

[edit]

Lau joined the University of California, Riverside as a professor in 2004.[3] Whilst at Riverside, she accidentally realized that when stacking three layers of graphene, depending on how the layers were stacked, the structure would behave either as a conductor or an insulator.[4] She made use of Raman spectroscopy to understand the precise stacking orders, and predicted that enhanced electronic interactions between layers with specific geometries were responsible for the formation of a band gap.[4]

Lai moved to Ohio State University as a professor in 2017. She studies how quantum confinement impacts the electronic properties and works on topological superconductors and the fabrication of 2D materials with Moiré patterns.[5]
