Yifang Wang was a FLEET PhD student working with Centre CI Prof Kourosh Kalantar-zadeh at UNSW. Yifang has a Masters in inorganic chemistry (South China University of Technology), focusing on the room-temperature synthesis of 2D-materials via interfacial reactions such as between liquid metal and air. “By conducting this research project, we hope to offer a new paradigm for 2D material preparation,” says Yifang, who worked in FLEET’s Research theme 1: topological materials and Enabling technology B: nano-device fabrication.
