Dion is a materials scientist specialising in electronic materials and devices. Having previously worked on epitaxial oxide thin films, he ‘went organic’ as he got fascinated by the chemical tunability of organic and hybrid organic-inorganic materials, and the wealth of electrical properties that could be induced by such thoughtful chemistry. Collaborating with chemists from the University of Tokyo, Dion is currently studying the charge transport and thermoelectric properties of coordination nanosheets, an emerging class of two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks exhibiting curious electronic properties. He enjoys wandering around Cambridge (with high probability density of being found around River Cam and the local kebab shops), communicating science, and tutoring undergraduates in supervisions.
