NIMS Intern Undergraduate Student
May 2025-July 2025
I am an upcoming 4th-year undergraduate Physics major student (Class of 2026) at Nazarbayev University, Astana, Kazakhstan. I joined the 2D Quantum Materials Group at NIMS on May 2025 as a participant in the NIMS Internship Program. Prior to this, I worked with 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) synthesized via CVD, specifically exploring superconductivity for single photon detectors. Last summer, I also interned at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), in the Inorganic facility and Nanofabrication facility lab at Molecular Foundry. At NIMS, my current project focuses on the functionalization of TMDs for potential use in single-photon emitter applications.
