Yuan Cao (Chinese: 曹原; pinyin: Cáo Yuán) is a Chinese electrical engineer and physicist. His research is focused on the properties of two-dimensional materials.[2][1] He discovered that a stack of two sheets of graphene, cooled to 1.7 K, could act as a superconductor or as an insulator when exposed to an electric field.[4][5] In 2018, Nature chose him as one of 10 people who mattered that year in science, calling him a "graphene wrangler."[4][6][7][8][9]
Cao was born in Chengdu in 1996, and he attended Shenzhen Yaohua Experimental School starting in 2007. In 2010, he got admitted into the Special Class for the Gifted Young at the University of Science and Technology of China and graduated in 2014 with a bachelor's degree in physics. In 2014, Cao started graduate school at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and obtained his doctorate degree in electrical engineering in 2020. Following graduation, he began his post-doctoral research in Pablo Jarillo-Herrero's group studying graphene.[10] After graduating, he has conducted postdoctoral research at MIT.
