Dr. LY Thuc Hue obtained her PhD (2015) and worked as Postdoc Research Fellow in Sungkyunkwan University, Center for Integrated Nanostructure Physics, Institute of Basic Science (2015-2017) under the supervision of Prof. Lee Young Hee. She joined and established the two-dimensional materials research lab in CHEM, City University of Hong Kong in August 2017. She is also a core member of Center of Super-Diamond and Advanced Films (COSDAF). Her group focuses on the preparation, structural characterization, and the material chemistry of a series of two-dimensional materials for future electronic and functional devices

Once again, on behalf of the Department of Chemistry, we congratulate Dr. KWOK and Dr LY on their continued success in their research endeavors.
