Koperski Lab @ IFIM, NUS

The Institute for Functional Intelligent Materials (I-FIM) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) was newly established on 1 September 2021. Headed by world-renowned physicists Nobel Laureate Prof. Sir Konstantin Novoselov and NUS Distinguished Prof. Antonio Castro Neto, I-FIM will be the world’s first institute dedicated to the design, synthesis, and application of Functional Intelligent Materials (FIMs). Its global vision is to create a platform to develop FIMs with predetermined properties and autonomous, dynamic functionalities which can respond to changing environmental conditions. I-FIM will then investigate the use of such materials for smart applications in various sectors of technology and medicine. The Koperski Lab investigates optoelectronic, vibrational, magnetic, and structural properties of layered 2D materials. We engineer and characterize van der Waals heterostructure-based devices as a platform to study excitonic physics and quantum phenomena in transition metal dichalcogenides and 2D magnetic materials, with potential applications in single photon source creation and emerging telecommunication technologies.
