Stretching the Limits of Graphene with Robin Smeyers
For Robin Smeyers, a passion for 2D materials began with a single thesis and quickly grew into a full-blown research journey. What started as a master’s project on graphene became a launchpad for academic discovery, leading him to a PhD focused on one of the most intriguing frontiers in condensed matter physics: straintronics. Robin’s work ranges from simulating balloon-like graphene structures to exploring the possibilities of room-temperature superconductors, laying the foundation for technologies that could one day transform our world.
