We’re excited to announce our next speaker, Asst Prof Tan Kwan Wee from Nanyang Technological University, to bring us:

“Transient Laser Heating Approaches in Synthesis and Characterization of Hybrid Nanostructures”

Abstract

Transient laser heating on nano- to millisecond time scales provide new pathways to generate multiscale functional materials and phases. In this talk I will describe some of our synthesis approaches to form  self-assembly–directed mesoporous polymer and  crystalline silicon nanostructures. We will also introduce the X-ray probed laser anneal mapping technique to study phase transitions of metastable oxides and metal alloys.

Kwan W. Tan is an assistant professor at Nanyang Technological University. He received his PhD, MEng and BEng in materials science from Cornell University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Nanyang Technological University. His research interests include exploring new approaches coupling self-assembly and nonequilibrium thermal annealing to generate multifunctional material structures and combinations.

Very much looking forward to the seminar – hope to see you all on Wednesday: (SGT) 9am, Wed, 18 August 2021!
