Call for Abstract for XXVII IMRC 2018, Symposium A3. Emerging 2D Non-Graphene Materials: Synthesis, Heterogeneity, and Collective Phenomena. The symposium organizers are Kai Xiao (ORNL), Deji Akinwande (University of Texas at Austin), and Talat Rahman (University of Central Florida).
Kai Xiao
Dr. Kai Xiao is a senior staff scientist in the Functional Hybrid Nanomaterials Group (Group leader, David B Geoghegan) at Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences, ORNL and a joint faculty at the Bredesen Center and Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, University of Tennessee at Knoxville. He received his Ph.D. degree in Physic Chemistry in 2004 from Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Then he worked as a postdoc associate at CNMS and became a staff scientist in 2008. He has published about 150 papers, several patents, and 4 book chapters.
