Shuo Cao

Prof. Shuo Cao is chair of the Department of Fundamental Physics, School of Physics, Liaoning University, Shenyang, China. He received the Ph.D. in condensed matter physics from Institute of Physics (IOP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) in 2015, Beijing, China. He obtained master's degree in 2004 and bachelor's degree in 2000, major in theoretical physics and physics respectively, from School of Physics, Liaoning University. Since 2004, he became a faculty member of Liaoning University. Between 2019 and 2020 he worked for Prof. James S. Harris at the Department of Electrical Engineering in the School of Engineering Stanford University as a visiting associate professor. From 2023 to 2024 he is working for Prof. Harri Lipsanen and Prof. Zhipei Sun at Department of Electronics and Nanoengineering in the School of Electrical Engineering Aalto University as a visiting professor.

His research interests focus on the electronic and optical properties of low-dimensional materials, such as zero-dimensional quantum dot, two-dimensional graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, and hybrid low-dimensional materials and optoelectronic devices. Recently, he is particularly interested in analyzing and understanding energy band coupling and intrinsic charge transfer, transition micro-mechanisms of hybrid low-dimensional materials and their applications in optoelectronic and energy field. He is member of northeast region of College Physics Course Teaching Steering Committee of the Ministry of Education of China, and he is peer letter review expert of National Natural Science Foundation of China.
