Graphene, the first 2D material, was isolated by Prof. Andre Geim and Prof. Konstantin Novoselov in 2004. Since then, a variety of 2D materials have been discovered, including transition metal dichalcogenides, phosphorene and mxene. 2D materials have remarkable characteristics and are making significant contributions towards quantum technologies, electronics, medicine, and renewable energy generation and storage to name but a few fields. However, we are still exploring the full potential of 2D materials, and many challenges must be overcome.

Join us for this panel discussion, hosted by 2D Materials, where leading experts will share their insights and perspectives on the current status, challenges and future directions of 2D materials research. You will have the opportunity to ask questions during the Q&A session.

Chair
Prof. Stephan Roche has been ICREA Research Professor and head of the Theoretical & Computational Nanoscience Group at the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2). He is a theoretician expert in the study of quantum transport theory in condensed matter, spin transport physics and devices simulation.

Speakers
Prof. Konstantin Novoselov is the Langworthy Professor of Physics and Royal Society Research Professor at The University of Manchester. In 2004, he isolated graphene alongside Andre Geim and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010 for his achievements.

Prof. Joan Redwing is a Distinguished Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Penn State University where she holds an adjunct appointment in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Her research focuses on crystal growth and epitaxy of electronic materials, with an emphasis on thin film and nanomaterial synthesis by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition.

Prof. Yury Gogotsi is a Distinguished University Professor and Charles T and Ruth M Bach Endowed Chair in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Drexel University. He is the founding director of the A.J. Drexel Nanomaterials Institute.

Prof. Cecilia Mattevi is a Professor of Materials Science in the Department of Materials at Imperial College London. Cecilia’s expertise centres on science and engineering of novel 2D atomically thin materials to enable applications in energy conversion and energy storage.
