2D-Materials And Devices Engineering (2D-MADE)
2D-Materials And Devices Engineering (2D-MADE)
The 2D-MADE research group advances nanoelectronics through the study and development of two-dimensional (2D) materials, devices, and heterostructures. These atomically thin materials offer new opportunities for next-generation logic, memory, cryogenic electronics, and quantum technologies.
Led by Dr Farzan Gity, Senior Staff Researcher at the Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork, the group combines experimental device fabrication, advanced electrical and materials characterisation, multiscale modelling, TCAD, and machine-learning-enabled design.
Our research spans 2D-material transistors and memory devices, van der Waals heterostructures, twistronics, topological materials, Josephson junctions, and emerging quantum-device concepts. We study how material quality, interfaces, contacts, geometry, and processing conditions influence device behaviour and performance.
A central aim of 2D-MADE is to connect theoretical modelling with experimental realisation. By combining fabrication and characterisation with predictive simulation, we develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between the structure, properties, and performance of 2D-material devices.
We are particularly interested in the integration of 2D materials within front-end- and back-end-of-line CMOS technologies, as well as in new device concepts for energy-efficient computing, cryogenic electronics, and quantum applications.
We welcome collaborations with academic, industrial, and technology partners, as well as enquiries from prospective students, postdoctoral researchers, and fellowship applicants.
