Rate My Professor John Schaibley

Schaibley has made significant contributions to the field through high-impact publications such as 'Valleytronics in 2D Materials' in Nature Reviews Materials (2016), 'Valley-Polarized Exciton Dynamics in a 2D Semiconductor Heterostructure' in Science (2016), 'Observation of Long-Lived Interlayer Excitons in Monolayer MoSe2–WSe2 Heterostructures' in Nature Communications (2015), 'Monolayer Semiconductor Nanocavity Lasers with Ultralow Thresholds' in Nature (2015), and 'Single Quantum Emitters in Monolayer Semiconductors' in Nature Nanotechnology (2015). These works, among others, have garnered thousands of citations and advanced understanding in valleytronics, exciton dynamics, and quantum optoelectronics in 2D materials. His accolades include the 2025 Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Experimental Physics Investigator award to engineer new quantum states in 2D materials, appointment as the inaugural Faculty Fellow for Quantum by the University of Arizona Office of Research and Partnerships in 2025 to unify quantum research efforts, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research Young Investigator Program (AFOSR YIP) Award (2017), Bisgrove Scholar (2017), Peter Franken Award (University of Michigan), AAPT Outstanding Teacher Award (University of Michigan), and Phi Beta Kappa (Purdue University). Schaibley maintains an office in PAS 551 and is actively involved in quantum initiatives at the university.
