The Inspire Grant gave me the opportunity to spend three eventful and scientifically fruitful months in the group of Prof. David Tománek at the Michigan State University (MSU) in East Lansing. Three days after my arrival the whole group went on a road trip to South Hadley, known as the ‘Birthplace of Volleyball’. The cause of our trip was not a sport competition but rather the Gordon Research Conference on 2-dimensional (2D) materials beyond graphene. This gave me the chance to present my latest findings to a wide audience of experts on 2D materials. Prof. Gotthard Seifert, my doctoral adviser, also attended the conference. We used the opportunity to together work out a working plan for my stay.

On September 16, Professor Konstantin S. Novoselov FRS holds his Nobel Lecture “Graphene: Materials in the Flatland” at TU Dresden. The talk will take place within cfaed's "Distinguished Lecture Series" which invites top tier guests to come to Dresden.
Sir Konstantin Novoselov was distinguished by the Nobel Committee for Physics “for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene”.
Thinner than paper, lighter than a feather, stronger than steel and better at conducting both electricity and heat than copper: graphene has been called as “the new wonder material of the 21st century”. Graphene consists of a layer of carbon atoms that are bonded together in a hexagonal pattern and form the graphite, commonly found in pencils. The material can be utilized in numerous disciplines.

cfaed researcher Dr. Violetta Sessi, postdoc at the Chair of Nanoelectronic Materials / Prof. Thomas Mikolajick, was awarded an cfaed INSPIRE Grant within the 03/2015 call. She spent 5 weeks in the group of Dr. Urs Frey (Frey Initiative Research Unit) at the RIKEN Quantitative Biology Center in Kobe, Japan. The stay was funded together with the Graduate Academy Dresden. The project, in collaboration with the group of Prof. Andreas Hierlemann at ETH Zürich, focused on the integration of silicon nanowire transistors in CMOS circuits, a topic of large interest at cfaed's Silicon Nanowire Research Path. First research outcomes will be shown at the MicroTAS 2016 Conference, 9-13 October 2016, Dublin, Ireland.
A special thanks goes to Dr. Florent Seichepine, now at Imperial College London.
