Yu Yao is an Assistant Professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University since 2015. Yu Yao received the bachelor’s and master’s degrees in electrical engineering from Tsinghua University and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Princeton University in 2011. From 2011 to 2014, she worked as a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard University. Her current research has been focused on electronic transport and optic properties of semiconductor nanostructures, two dimensional materials, nanophotonic structures and their applications in advanced optoelectronics and reconfigurable optical devices; mid-infrared technology and its application for infrared sensing, medical and imaging. She has published about 30 articles in peer-reviewed journals and books in semiconductor optoelectronic devices, nanophotonics and microwave photonics. She received the AFOSR Young Investigator Award in 2016, DARPA Young Faculty award in 2019 and selected as a Fulton Outstanding Assistant Professor at ASU in 2018.
