ICN2 Researchers Shine at the 13th Edition of the Graphene Conference Series in Manchester
The 13th edition of the Graphene Conference series, the most prominent European event centered on graphene and 2D materials, is in its final stages in Manchester, UK. The ICN2 has played again a significant role at this year's conference, with numerous members of the institute giving high-profile presentations, including ICN2's Director, Prof. Pablo Ordejón, and ICREA Prof. Stephan Roche acting as members of the Organising Committee.
From June 27 to June 30, 2023, the Graphene Conference offers a melting pot of revolutionary discussions about the possible applications and future of graphene and other 2D materials. The ICN2's involvement has been instrumental in driving these conversations forward, with ICREA Prof. Stephan Roche acting as one of the event's key organisers.
Prof. Pablo Ordejón, Group Leader and Director of ICN2, took to the stage during the Workshop devoted to 2D water and nanofluidics. His discussion centered around the innovative computational methods used to study 2D materials, offering a glimpse into the future of materials research and its applications.
Additionally, other ICN2 researchers have provided high-level contributions to the conference. These have included presentations on diverse topics, from the use of graphene oxide complexes with biomolecules for therapeutic use (Dr Neus Lozano, from the ICN2 Nanomedicine Lab), to ultrafast cooling in magic angle twisted bilayer graphene (Dr Jake Dudley, from the ICN2 Ultrafast Dynamics in Nanoscale Systems Group), or the mechanical properties of amorphous boron nitride (Onurcan Kaya, from the ICN2 Theoretical and Computational Nanoscience Group).
As the conference draws to a close, attendees eagerly anticipate the final sessions, where further insights and developments are expected to emerge. The contributions of ICN2 researchers have greatly enriched the discussions and will undoubtedly influence future progress in the field of graphene and 2D materials.
