Feng's paper published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces - Optimizing WS2 Growth with Bayesian Optimization

Bayesian Optimization for Controlled Chemical Vapor Deposition Growth of WS2 © 2024 American Chemical Society Accelerating 2D Material Synthesis with Machine Learning Published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2024 Our latest research employs Bayesian optimization (BO), a machine learning technique, to optimize the growth of monolayer WS2 through chemical vapor deposition (CVD). By maximizing photoluminescence (PL) intensity, we achieved an impressive 86.6% increase in only 13 rounds of optimization. This work demonstrates the potential of BO to surpass traditional methods like random search, offering faster convergence to optimal growth conditions.

Awarded from The Mitsubishi Foundation

The 55th (FY2024) Mitsubishi Foundation Grants-in-Aid for Natural Sciences in the Young Investigator Grant category has been decided! This grant supports young researchers who have been working for less than 10 years after obtaining their Ph.D. degrees and are expected to conduct challenging research. Our research aims to develop a technology to introduce luminescent centers at will and to fabricate quantum optical devices using this technology. Quantum optical devices are expected to play an important role in future communication and computing technologies. If this research is successful, it will dramatically improve the performance of quantum optical devices and open up new application fields.
