24 Mar 2025 Exciting news! Anh's review on hBN quantum emitters has been published in Advanced Functional Materials (IF: 18.5, top 5% in Materials Science). Congratulations, Anh! The review article is open-access. It highlights the tremendous progress of a novel quantum light source—quantum emitters in the 2D material, hexagonal boron nitride: from the inception that Toan spearheaded alongside my colleagues at UTS in 2016 to the current status that has gained significant traction in the community with hundreds of active researchers around the world involved, many from top universities, including TU Munich, EPFL, Caltech, Kyoto U, Seoul National U, Stanford, Purdue, MIT, UTS, RMIT, etc.https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adfm.202500714
26 Feb 2025 Welcome Nhat Minh Nguyen to our group! Minh's PhD is supported by the prestigious RTP scholarship at UTS. Minh's PhD thesis will focus on the development of novel quantum sources for optical nanothermometry. Minh received his Bachelor and Master's degree in HCMUS, Vietnam, with university medals. Among his several accolades, he has published 3 first-authored and 7 co-authored papers. Good luck, Minh!
17 Oct 2024 Exciting news! The hard work of our collaboration with the team at the University of Southern Queensland (A/Prof Toan Dinh) has finally paid off. Our project has been funded by the QLD Government in the Quantum Challenge 2032 ($832K)! We will develop a hybrid wearable quantum sensing system that will help monitor athlete training activities and minimize their injuries. The project is built upon years of expertise in quantum materials, sensing, and nanofabrication from both the research groups at UTS and USQ, respectively.
