Why 2D materials: I became interested in 2D materials after learning about the diversity of their applications during my undergrad. I also came to learn that although 2D materials have been under development for quite some time, they are not as widely utilized as I believe they could be. Their synthesis pathways are often not well understood, expensive, unsafe, produce low quality products, or a combination of these undesirable qualities. My goal is to understand the synthesis pathways needed to scale-up the production of 2D materials making them more accessible and bring them closer to mainstream use.
