Prof. Kyusang Lee, who joined UVA a year ago, already won his first NSF collaborative research award! Together withProf. Jeehwan Kim from MIT they will studynanomanufacturing of wafer-scale 2D materials. The two PIs proposed a novelLayer Resolved Splitting (LRS) process that enables manufacturing of wafer-scale heterogeneously integrated two-dimensional (2D) atomic layer material building blocks by precisely controlling the exfoliation and transfer of a wide variety of 2D materials. This project opens up exciting new opportunities ad pathways in 2D material research, by providing a reliable platform to manufacture monolayer-resolved wafer-scale 2D heterostructures. Way to go Dr. Lee!
