2D Materials for Electronic/Photonic/Quantum Applications Workshop
2D Materials for Electronic/Photonic/Quantum Applications Workshop
The field of 2D materials has seen a significant advancement in recent years, with these materials continuing to unlock new frontiers across a range of disciplines including electronics, photonics and quantum technologies.
Date: Thursday 25 September 2025
Time: 11:15 - 13:15
Organisers: GATEPOST, 2DNeuralVision and 2D-PL projects
The session will comprise six invited speakers who will present recent advances that demonstrate a linkage between fundamental research and industrial relevance. The subjects to be addressed include the reliability and long-term stability of 2D materials in device environments, gate stack integration processes for scalable electronics and the development of efficient photodetectors and modulators based on 2D materials. The role of 2D materials in photonics will be a particular focus, with direct applications in telecommunications and data centres.
The session will conclude with an interactive panel discussion, offering attendees the opportunity to engage with the speakers on challenges, emerging opportunities and future directions for 2D materials in electronic, photonic and quantum systems.

Title: Graphene-based far-infrared photodetectors and applications
Bio: Klaas-Jan Tielrooij is an Associate Professor in the Applied Physics department of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), associated with the Advanced Nanomaterials and Devices group. He is also a Senior Group Leader at the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) in Spain. Klaas-Jan leads the Ultrafast Dynamics in Nanoscale Systems group, which partially moved from Spain to the Netherlands in the summer of 2023. His key areas of expertise include ultrafast spectroscopy, terahertz photonics, optoelectronics, and layered quantum materials. One of his recent goals has been to reach a fundamental understanding of the transport and dynamics of electronic and phononic heat in 1D and 2D material systems through advanced optical and optoelectronic techniques with high temporal and spatial resolution, and to explore applications in photodetection and thermal management. The group continues to work on quantum materials, studying heat and charge flow, and will also address the conversion of energy and information between various degrees of freedom and across different frequencies. Klaas-Jan has received several prizes, including the FOM Physics Thesis Prize, and competitive grants including an ERC Starting grant (2018), an ERC Proof of Concept grant (2021), and an ERC Consolidator grant (2024).

Title: Reliability of Shared Transistors Based on 2D Semiconductors
Bio: Theresia Knobloch is an assistant professor at TU Wien focusing on the fabrication, experimental characterisation, design, and modelling of nanoelectronic devices based on 2D materials. In this research field, she primarily studies the stability and reliability of 2D material based field-effect transistors with a particular focus on nanoscaled devices and the role the insulators play for device performance. She obtained her doctoral degree from TU Wien in 2021 and received her doctoral degree in a sub auspiciis doctoral graduation, the highest possible distinction for academic achievements for a doctoral degree in Austria. Dr. Knobloch performed part of her research as a visiting scholar at MIT, MA, USA, in 2023 and Purdue University, IN, USA, in 2018 and 2019. She received several awards for her work, including the IEEE EDS Ph.D. Student Fellowship in 2021 and the Best Student Paper Award at the DRC in 2020.
