Meetings
6th Group Meeting on 16th, April 2024
Updates from the groups in work progress
The team welcomed Dr. Sujit Kadam, a new JSU postdoc.
Dr. Nihar updated everyone on the approval of the first annual report, including the carryover budget due to the fact the the equipment has not been yet received.
July 12, 2024 joint NSF PREM/DoE conference. There will be estimated 2 guests from ANL. An invitation will be sent to the program office. JSU has been actively recruiting local high school students into the summer program. REU and high school students from UM will train on the UM campus and present posters at the conference at JSU. They may visit JSU along with the postdocs from UM during the year.
An all-team meeting is tentatively planned on July 11-12, 2024 on JSU campus.
The team agreed to coordinate and keep everyone up-to-date regarding the participation in various meetings during the year.
The team presented the latest research results.
UM Teams visited the JSU lab to conduct 2D/2D QDs heterostructure device measurement. Promising Preliminary results were observed. The challenge on Theoretical exploration was discussed.
Pabitra/Jerzy presented Graphene/WSe2 heterostructure results and the different phonon modes.
Dr. Nihar updated the team on the progress of the DoE EPSCoR website.
Among the upcoming plans, the May 5-11, 2024 visit to ANL was highlighted.
EPSCoR group meeting at Tech Expo conference at DC from June 17th-19th.
5th Group Meeting on 19th, March 2024
Updates from the groups in work progress
UM Fabricated the Graphene/QDs WS2 heterostructure devices @ Argonne and did preliminary measurements
UM will visit to JSU for Graphene/QDs WS2 Photoconductivity measurements in April
JSU fabricated few heterostructure samples with n-MoS2 and p-WS2
Planning for Argonne visit from May 5th to 12th

1st Kick-off Meeting on September 5th 2023, 9-10 AM
Great 1st Group Meeting. Discussed with several things, approach, initiation and planning for working effectively together. Some highlights are below:
Access for Argonne Computational cluster for simulation: Jerzy group
Convey to the Advisory committee members for the approval of the grant and express to work together with their feedback.
All groups meet once in a month, sub-group meeting is planned in their respective institution.
UM personnel to get access to Argonne.
Frequent exchanging students/personnel between JSU and UM.
Face-to-face meeting either at Conference venue/@UM/JSU or at Argonne.
Know more about (i) Role of Advisory committee, (ii) DOE Time line for progress reports in DOE PI Meeting at DC on Sep 19-21st
DOE ECMP PI Meeting: Sep 19-21 @ Washington DC
Presented a Poster
Advisory Committee role: Check if its the requirement of DOE otherwise we need to plan our own.
Yearly Reports (We can have quarterly updates)
