Seminar: Controlled 2D materials for hybrid devices & sensing
Guest Speaker: Prof. Georg S. Duesberg (University of the Bundeswehr Munich)
Date: April 14th, 2026 | Time: 15:00 | Venue: CENIMAT|i3N Amphitheater
We are honored to invite everyone to a seminar featuring Prof. Georg S. Duesberg, an international leader in the field of low-dimensional structures.
The surface chemistry of 2D materials is a fascinating topic, yet reliable functionalization remains a challenge due to detrimental residues and hydrocarbon contaminations. In this talk, Prof. Duesberg will present robust methods for the non-covalent functionalization of pristine 2D materials (such as MoS₂), enabling the attachment of antibodies for specific sensing of bio-active molecules. Furthermore, the talk will explore 2D materials and vertical heterostructures produced via scalable synthesis techniques like CVD, paving the way for next-generation electronics and sensing technologies.
About the speaker: Georg S. Duesberg holds the Chair for Sensor Technologies at the Institute of Physics and is the spokesperson for the Centre for Integrated Sensors (SENS) at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich. With an extensive career including stints at the Max-Planck-Institute, Trinity College Dublin, Infineon, and Qimonda, he has co-authored over 300 publications (>50,000 citations) and filed 25 patents. His research focuses on the synthesis and integration of 2D materials with silicon technology for novel hybrid devices and NEMS.
