Zhaoyou Wang will be an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University starting January 2026. He received his Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Stanford University and his B.S. in Physics from Tsinghua University. He then continued as a postdoctoral researcher at University of Chicago.
Zhaoyou's research focuses on developing methods to control and protect quantum information systems for potential applications in communication, computation, and sensing, while investigating the theoretical limits of these systems. His work explores the connection between fundamental quantum theory and practical quantum engineering.
