Akshay Murthy received a B.S., in Materials Science and Engineering from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and his research work focuses on examining the emergent properties present at interfaces between various two-dimensional chalcogenide materials. This research involves both synthesis of these structures, as well as a suite of microscopy and spectroscopy techniques to understand relationships between atomic structure and electronic and optical properties. Defining structure-property relationships in these atomically thin systems is important for their use in applications such as flexible electronics or next-generation computing.
