I’m a rising second year in the Chemistry department in the lab of Doug Reed doing research on 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). My research aims to impart porosity in these materials by linking individual sheets using organic molecules. Due to the large variety of TMDCs and their differing electronic properties, a facile and general method for creating porous TMDC structures could help in creating novel materials with unique electronic and magnetic properties.
