March 7, 2023, Hem gave a presentation at the APS March Meeting held in Las Vegas! The presentation is entitled “Structural characterization of few-layer chromium trihalides using 4D-STEM“. Good job, Hem!

March 6, 2023, Carlos gave a presentation at the APS March Meeting held in Las Vegas! The presentation is entitled “STM study of point defects in two-dimensional CVD-grown semiconductor devices“. Good job, Carlos!

July 29th, 2022, Hem passed the qualifying exam and officially became a PhD candidate! Fantastic job and congratulations, Hem! Below show a small celebration party for Hem!

April 5, 2022, Prof. Yan is awarded 2022 Hellman Fellowship. Congratulations! The list of award winners of year 2022 Hellman Fellowship can be found here.

March 16, 2022, Hem gave a presentation at the APS March Meeting held in Chicago- first in-person APS March Meeting in two years! The presentation is entitled “In-situ TEM study of 2D-MoS2 FET“. Good job, Hem!

August 13, 2021, the REU student David Zeitz gave a presentation entitled “Molten-Salt-Assisted Synthesis of Atomically Thin Two-Dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides by Chemical Vapor Deposition” at the “Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) in Sustainable Materials” symposium. Good job, David!
