Chun-Ho Lin, a KAUST Ph.D. student in electrical engineering, won the best paper award at the 2nd International Symposium on Devices and Application of Two-dimensional Materials in Shanghai, China, in June 2016.
“The conference featured over 500 attendees, and it is very competitive to win the best paper award there,” said Jr-Hau He, KAUST associate professor of electrical engineering and Lin’s Ph.D. supervisor.
Lin completed his master’s degree in the Department of Electrical Engineering in his native Taiwan at the National Taiwan University and began his Ph.D. studies at KAUST in 2014. His KAUST research focuses on flexible paper photosensors based on two-dimensional (2-D) boron nitride (BN) nanosheets.
“Up till now, conventional flexible devices made of paper and plastic substrates are expected to have thermal issues due to their poor thermal conductivity. In the research work, we demonstrated flexible photosensors based on 2-D BN nanosheets composited paper with good detectivity, fast recovery time , great thermal stability, high working temperature, excellent flexibility and bending durability. This shows great potential to be a key component to solve thermal problems and fully activate flexible electronics for meeting the demand of internet of things,” said Lin.
Lin noted he was “glad to attend the conference. I felt honored to get together with such an illustrious group of internationally renowned scholars, and I saw plenty of novel applications of 2-D materials while there.”
