The University of Connecticut, Department of Physics, is proud to announce the 27th Annual Katzenstein Distinguished Lecturer on Friday, January 30th , 2026 by Professor Pablo Jarillo-Herrero.
Pablo Jarillo-Herrero is a Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a member of the US National Academy of Sciences. He received his “Licenciatura” in physics from the University of Valencia, Spain, in 1999, M.Sc. degree at the University of California in San Diego, in 2001 and Ph.D. at the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands in 2005. His research involves studying the properties of two-dimensional (one atom-thick) materials with special emphasis on investigating their superconducting, magnetic, and topological properties. The discovery of superconductivity in twisted bilayers of graphene by his group in 2018 has been recognized as the Breakthrough of the Year by the Physics World magazine.
Prof. Jarillo-Herrero is the recipient of the APS 2020 Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Physics Prize and the 2020 Wolf Prize in Physics for his research on twisted bilayer graphene. Many groups all over the world have adopted Prof. Jarillo-Herrero’s approach and ideas to discover numerous previously unknown phases of matter in twisted multilayers of graphene and other two-dimensional materials, launching the rapidly growing field of “twistronics”. His accomplishments have been recognized with a number of other awards, including a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers in 2012, the 2021 Lise Meitner Distinguished Lecture and Medal, the 2021 Max Planck Humboldt Research Award, and the 2021 US National Academy of Sciences Award for Scientific Discovery.
