APS Colloquium

The monthly APS Colloquium series benefits the Advanced Photon Source and Argonne communities by bringing distinguished scientists in all disciplines to lecture on topics of general interest. Objectives include the cross-fertilization of research initiatives at various institutions, and the identification of possible uses of the Advanced Photon Source. The lecturer is also invited to spend an additional day visiting with scientists at Argonne.

APS Colloquium

  • When:  Wednesday, December 4, 2024 @ 3:00 p.m.
  • Where: APS Building 402, Auditorium
  • Title: Heterogeneous material dynamics encoded with coherent X-rays

Dr. Yue Cao is a physicist in the Materials Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory. His research focuses on the emergent properties in a wide range of quantum and functional materials using cutting-edge X-ray methods. His recent interest lies in developing coherent and ultrafast X-ray approaches for understanding material responses under external electric and optical stimuli.

Dr. Cao obtained his B.S. from Tsinghua University in China in 2007, and his Ph.D. from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2014. He was a postdoctoral research associate at Brookhaven National Laboratory before joining Argonne as a staff scientist. Dr. Cao was awarded the Early Career Award from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in 2023 and served as a member of the User Executive Committee of the Linac Coherent Light Source between 2020 and 2023.
