We are entering a new era of nanoelectronics and information technology, as conventional scaling-based approaches to Moore’s Law are slowing down. In response to high demand for energy-efficient abundant data processing, new frontiers could be enabled by new materials. However, there is a knowledge gap between new materials and system-level advances, which must be bridged through research, from lab to fab. A new field was enabled with the emergence of graphene and other two-dimensional (2-D) materials, which offer unique properties at truly atomic-scale dimensions. Importantly, these can be assembled into novel heterostructures to tailor their electrical, optical, and thermal properties.

Sam Vaziri is a postdoctoral research fellow in the department of Electrical Engineering (EE) at Stanford University. At Stanford, he is investigating electrical and thermal transport in 2-D materials and van der Waals heterostructures for novel electron device applications. He received a Ph.D. in Nanoelectronics from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, in 2016, and dual MSc degrees: one in Nanotechnology from KTH, Stockholm, and one in Solid State Physics from K. N. Toosi University of Technology, Tehran. His previous research activities encompass metal-insulator-metal tunnel diodes, and 2-D materials-based electronic and optoelectronic devices, such as vertical
