My Journey Into Low-Dimensional Nanomaterials

by Boyuan Yu

This blog shares my journey into the world of low-dimensional nanomaterials, starting from a childhood fascination with nanotechnology. From studying MOFs as an undergraduate to researching nanoclusters in carbon nanotubes during my master’s studies, I gradually developed a strong interest in nanoscale materials. Now, as an AUFRANDE PhD student jointly supervised by Prof. Paolo Samorì and Prof. Liming Dai, I work on engineering MoS₂-based 2D hybrid materials for energy conversion and storage. After completing my first year in France, I will continue the next stage of my research in Australia.
