RESUME

Prof. Gao received his bachelor degree in physics from Fudan University in 1999. He continued his graduated in study in France. He received engineer diploma from Ecole Polytechnique (Palaiseau) in 2002. He then entered the joint Ph.D program of Ecole Normale Superieure (Paris) and University Paris VI, and received his Ph.D degree in 2006. He worked as post-doc in Delft University of Technology and Max-Planck institute for solid state research in the following years and joined Shanghai institute of microsystem and information technology in 2012. His major research interests are superconducting electronics and electronic properties of low-dimensional materials.

WORK EXPERIENCE

Prof. Gao’s past research activities mainly involve understanding electronic properties of low-dimensional materials by developing new measurement techniques. He realized first non-destructive four-terminal measurements on single-wall carbon nanotubes by using multi-wall carbon nanotubes as voltage probes and observed negative resistance due to quantum interference. He developed a technique which allows in-situ electric measurement on nanowires inside transmission electron microscope. He also developed solid electrolyte gating technique which is a powerful all-solid-state method that can effectively induce large carrier density change in thin-film materials. He is currently working on the development of high-resolution and extremely sensitive photon detectors using superconducting films.
