Hanoi, March 10, 2026 – The Center for Materials Innovation & Technology (CMIT) at VinUniversity hosted a scientific seminar featuring Prof. Thuc Hue Ly’s research breakthroughs from the City University of Hong Kong. The seminar focused on overcoming critical bottlenecks in the scalable fabrication and integration of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors and quantum materials for next-generation electronic devices.

In her presentation, Prof. Ly addressed several key challenges in the practical implementation of 2D materials, including damage, contamination, and stress during processing. She introduced the state-of-the-art synthesis techniques developed by her team to enable ultra-clean and ultra-precise 2D structures. These included ice-assisted transfer and cleaning methods for achieving high-quality, contamination-free 2D flakes and films across various substrates, phase control strategies for neuromorphic computing through strain relaxation during transfer, and ultra-precise patterning techniques combining reversible optical patterning and atomic-scale electron beam writing with sub-nanometer precision. These breakthroughs have been featured in top-ranked journals, including Nature and Science. 

Beyond her research contributions, Prof. Ly has built an outstanding academic career marked by international recognition. Prof. Ly earned her B.Sc. from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (VNU) and her Ph.D. from Sungkyunkwan University (South Korea). Prior to joining the City University of Hong Kong, she was a research fellow at the IBS Center for Integrated Nanostructure Physics. She is the recipient of the NSFC Excellent Young Scientists Award (2022), the IAAM Scientist Medal (2024), and multiple international invention awards.
