On\nJanuary 16, 2020, the Aachen Graphene & 2D Materials center will host a seminar\nby Prof. Tom\u00e1s Palacios, with the title \u201cThe Graphene Revolution: From\nTransistors to Synthetic Cells\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Palacios is Professor of Electrical Engineering and\nComputer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), as well as\nthe founder and\ndirector of the MIT MTL Center for Graphene Devices and 2D Systems, and Chief\nAdvisor and co-founder of Cambridge Electronics, Inc. His research interests include the\ndesign, processing and characterization of new electronic devices based on wide\nbandgap semiconductors and on two-dimensional materials such as graphene, molybdenum\ndisulfide (MoS2) and tungsten diselenide (WSe2). His work has been recognized with multiple\nawards, including the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and\nEngineers, the IEEE George Smith Award, and the NSF, ONR, and the DARPA Young\nFaculty Awards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his talk, Palacios\nwill review some of the recent progress on the use of graphene and other\ntwo-dimensional materials for ultra-low power CMOS circuits, sensors and large\narea devices for energy harvesting. He\nwill also present a new generation of micro-systems that probe the limits of\nelectronics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
