# Pablo Jarillo-Herrero

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

## Biography

Jarillo-Herrero was born in Valencia, Spain. In 1999 he received his Licenciatura in physics from the University of Valencia. 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.
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, 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.
