Dr. Alexey Berdyugin received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in condensed matter physics from Moscow Phystech (MIPT). After completing a PhD and a short post-doc. at the University of Manchester with Nobel Prize laureate, Sir. Andre Geim, Dr. Berdyugin joined the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2022 as an assistant professor, where he has received the prestigious NUS Presidential Young Professorship award, and more recently the highly coveted National Research Foundation (NRF) of Singapore Fellowship Award 2024.

Dr. Daria Belotcerkovtceva completed her Bachelor’s degree at Tyumen State University and her Master's degree at Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology in Russia. She then pursued her Ph.D. at Uppsala University in Sweden, where her research focused on charge and spin transport in graphene-based devices. Specializing in graphene spintronics, Dr. Belotcerkovtceva investigated the use of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) graphene in advanced nanodevices, examining key aspects such as structural integrity, surface charge transfer doping, and current-carrying capacity. In her postdoctoral work, she continues to explore twisted multilayer CVD graphene, applying her expertise in device fabrication to unlock new opportunities in this field.

I got my bachelor’s degree at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (2018-2022). During my BSc I joined biophysics department, but after a year of studying organic chemistry, quickly realized my mistake and switched focus on solid states physics. Subsequently, I joined a chair of Quantum Nanostructures Devices and Technology, where I studied superconductivity and quantum transport in planar Josephson junctions on topological insulators. After graduation, I joined quantum transport lab in I-FIM. Here I focus on fabrication of twisted multilayer Van der Waals heterostructures and measurement of their quantum transport properties. When I have free time, I like to read or watch art films while consuming liters of coffee.

Grew up in Chelyabinsk, Russia. Graduated with a BSc and MSc in Physics from Lomonosov University, Moscow. Since 2022 I am a PhD student at MSE NUS. Research interests: 2-dimentional materials; heterostructures; nanoelectronics.
Hobbies: squash, theater and photography

I have graduated from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. My Bachelor and Master theses were focused on optical properties of Van der Waals materials. In the science of quantum materials I see a great beauty because everything around us is inherently quantum at microscopic scale. I like playing basketball and reading all kinds of weird books.

Degree: BEng, South China University of Technology, 2023.
Research motivation: Try to understand a little more about this world.
Hobbies: Various sports, such as table tennis, rock climbing, and Aikido.

I am an undergraduate student majoring is material science and engineering. I enjoyed my campus life in Northwestern Polytechnical University in China for past three years. I am now working on my final year project in National University of Singapore as an exchange student. And in the future, I will continue to persue my master’s degree also in National University of Singapore. My project is focused on using mica as stamp to fabricate 2D material heterostructure. The life of research is more interesting for me. Combining the theory knowledge with the realistic experiment, using knowledge to solve problems satisfies my mind. Hope my future research will be successful
