About
Irfan H. Abidi (Ph.D. HKUST, Hong Kong) is currenlty working as Research Fellow at RMIT. Before joining RMIT, He was a Research Fellow (2018-2021) at Centre for Advanced 2D Materials, NUS, Singapore, a world leading graphene research centre. His research focuses on engineering atomic structures within 2D materials—from single crystalline to amorphous using CVD techniques, to tailor properties for targeted applications such as opto-electronics, quantum, and electrochemical devices. He has co-authored in 35+ high-impact publications, with 2000+ citations & 20 h-index (Google Scholar), and 4 US patents. He is currently a Chief Investigator on two ARC Projects, including a Discovery Project (DP240100145) and LIEF grant (LE250100014).

Research interests
Two-dimensional (2D) materials: CVD (Plasma-CVD, laser-CVD) synthesis of high quality single crystals of 2D materials (graphene, hBN, TMDs), hBN quantum emitters formation, their heterostructures (vertical, lateral), amorphous graphene (mono to few layer membranes) and applications in nanoelectronics, quantum emission, energy storage (Li-ion/metal batteries, supercapacitors), data storage (HDD, HAMR), bio-sensing (DNA, proteins) and catalytic (HER, CO2 RR) devices. I am also interested in other functional nanomaterials synthesis.
