Jie Shan received a diploma in Mathematics and Physics from Moscow State University, Russia in 1996. He completed his Ph.D. in Physics at Columbia University in 2001. From 2002 to 2014, he served as an Assistant and Associate Professor in Physics at Case Western Reserve University. Following this, he joined Pennsylvania State University as an Associate and Full Professor from 2014 to 2017. In 2018, he became a Full Professor at Cornell University in the School of Applied and Engineering Physics. His research interests encompass the optical and electronic properties of nanoscale materials, with a particular focus on atomically thin two-dimensional crystals such as graphene and MoS2 heterostructures. He actively develops experimental techniques to probe and control the internal degrees of freedom of electrons in nanoscale systems, employing linear and nonlinear optical spectroscopy and microscopy techniques to access steady state properties and ultrafast dynamics.
