Perspectives
Yu He joined Yale Applied Physics as an assistant professor in the fall of 2020. His research mainly utilizes light-matter interaction to investigate correlated electronic systems and other functional quantum materials. He focuses on dissecting novel materials’ microscopic degrees of freedom - electronic, lattice and spin - via angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and x-ray scattering techniques. Complementary techniques such as electric transport, surface decoration and crystal synthesis are employed to characterize and manipulate material properties. Prior to arriving at Yale, he worked as a Miller Research Fellow at the University of California at Berkeley.
