Junqiao Wu is a Chancellor's professor and Department Chair of materials science at the University of California, Berkeley.
[2] Wu's research in semiconductors has led to major discoveries in the field, such as indium gallium nitride alloys have bandgaps spanning the entire near infrared to ultraviolet spectrum, electrons in vanadium dioxide conduct energy without conducting heat,[3] a temperature adaptive radiative coating that automatically switches thermal emissivity,[4] as well as a range of applications in solar cells, infrared imaging, photonics, and thermoelectrics.
He received postdoctoral training under Prof. Hongkun Park from Harvard University.
His honors include the Berkeley Fellowship, the 29th Ross N. Tucker Memorial Award, the U.C.
He is currently on the Chair Line of the Division of Materials Physics at the American Physical Society (APS), and holds joint appointment at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
