2D Materials and Devices

Symposium Scope & Objectives

The “2D Materials and Devices” Symposium aims to explore the cutting-edge research and developments in two-dimensional (2D) materials, with a focus on their properties, fabrication techniques, and potential applications in various fields. As these materials continue to revolutionize the world of nanotechnology, electronics, and photonics, the symposium will provide a platform for interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations. The primary objective is to foster knowledge exchange between scientists, engineers, and industry professionals to advance the understanding and practical use of 2D materials in next-generation devices. Attendees will gain insights into both the fundamental physics and the commercial potential of 2D materials, ranging from fundamental research to device integration.

Key Topics include

• Synthesis and Characterization of 2D Materials: Methods for producing high-quality monolayers and few-layer materials (e.g., graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron nitride).

• Electronic and Optoelectronic Devices: Applications of 2D materials in transistors, photodetectors, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and flexible electronics.

• 2D Materials in Energy Storage and Conversion: Exploring the role of 2D materials in batteries, supercapacitors, and solar cells.

• Quantum and Topological Effects: Investigation of quantum phenomena, such as superconductivity, magnetism, and topological phases, in 2D materials.

• Nanostructuring and Heterostructures: Design and fabrication of 2D material-based heterostructures and their role in improving device performance. 

Target Audience

The “2D Materials and Devices” Symposium is aimed at a diverse audience, including researchers, academics, and professionals working in materials science, nanotechnology, physics, and electrical engineering. It will also engage engineers, technologists, and industry leaders focused on the development and commercialization of 2D materials in applications such as electronics, energy storage, sensors, and flexible devices. Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career scientists with an interest in advancing the understanding and application of 2D materials will benefit from the event, as will policymakers and funding agencies seeking to support innovation in this rapidly growing field.
