The Nanomaterials Laboratory at Universidad de los Andes is dedicated to the design, synthesis, and characterization of low-dimensional materials, with a particular focus on graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides obtained through liquid-phase exfoliation.
A central goal of the laboratory is to translate fundamental insights into technological applications, particularly in energy generation and harvesting, as well as next-generation electronic and sensing devices.
Research Areas
Liquid-Phase Exfoliation
Quantum Phenomena
We study how quantum effects and collective behavior emerge in low-dimensional systems, with a focus on their magnetic and optical properties. By understanding how interactions at the nanoscale shape material behavior, we aim to harness these phenomena for applications in advanced electronic, photonic, and sensing technologies.
Energy Applications
We explore the use of nanomaterials for energy generation and harvesting, including thermoelectric and optoelectronic systems. By tailoring material properties at the nanoscale, we aim to enhance efficiency and enable new approaches to sustainable energy technologies.
