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.

Dr. Christoph Reuter received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees both in Electrical Engineering with majors in Microelectronics and Nanotechnology from Technical University of Ilmenau (Germany) in 2018 and 2019, respectively. His first introduction to the field of 2D materials was during an undergraduate research internship in 2016 at IMDEA Nanoscience Institute Madrid (Spain) working on optoelectronics based on TMDCs. Between 2020 and 2024, he obtained his PhD in Electrical Engineering with a work about scanning probe-based nanolithography on 2D materials, also from Technical University of Ilmenau (Germany).

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.

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 have received Bachelor's and Master's degrees in quantum optics and nanomaterials in Moscow Phystech (MIPT). My passion for physics started from a high school in Saint Petersburg Lysium № 239 where I tried out acoustics. Then at university I concentrated more on 2D materials and defects in it acting as quantum sensors. Now I am pursuing my PhD degree in National University of Singapore and working in I-FIM.
Also I am a musician skilled in playing various musical instruments. I love boardgames and fiction literature.

I got my Bachelor’s degree from Savitribai Phule Pune University and began my research journey at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), in Prof. Mandar Deshmukh group, where I worked on quantum transport in two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures, essentially trying to understand how electrons behave when the rules get interesting.
My research interests lie in quantum transport and emergent electronic phenomena in 2D materials, particularly in understanding and controlling electron–electron interactions using experimentally tunable parameters. The idea that electrons can be persuaded if not exactly convinced to behave differently by tuning the right knobs is what keeps me fascinated.

Outside the lab, I enjoy marathon running, trekking, and photography, mostly in the hope of occasionally capturing something in nature that is easier to understand than a quantum system.
