In her free time, she enjoys sailing and organising seminars from industry speakers with the Women’s Engineering Society at Durham.</p> <h4>Why strained semiconductors are like crinkle-cut crisps</h4> <p>When applying strain to 2-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides, it has been observed that the bandgap changes. The bandgap is the potential difference between the highest energy bounded (immobile) electrons and the delocalised (mobile) electrons.</p> <p><em>Crinkle cut crisps taste better because they hold more salt, crinkle cut semiconductors insulate better because they hold more electrons.</em></p> <p>This effect could be exploited in the next generation of synthetic skin. It could also be used to design flexible acetylene detectors to monitor food expiration, reducing food waste. To date, the relationship between mechanical strain and electronic properties has predominantly been shown through computational modelling. This research focuses on overcoming the issues that have hindered the realisation of these devices, such that the effects of strain on other semiconductor properties can be investigated. In turn, this will lead to a better understanding of the electrostatics and charge transport of these novel 2-D materials.</p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="profile"> <a href="#" class="profile-image-holder" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#who-9BAE1456-EF2A-4803-990495027FF3CC15"> <img src="https://www.iom3.org/static/5170aacb-e80e-4baa-8269a377f279da1f/whoswhogrid_a2f960173125876b45a1d78e4b52192c_4a7c7e45a350/Sihao-Yu.jpg" class="profile-image" alt="Sihao Yu"/> </a> <div class="profile-content"> <p class="profile-text mb-0">Hong Kong</p> <h4 class="profile-heading mb-0"> <a href="#" class="profile-image-holder mb-0" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#who-9BAE1456-EF2A-4803-990495027FF3CC15">Sihao Yu</a> </h4> <p class="profile-meta"></p> </div> <div class="modal fade" id="who-9BAE1456-EF2A-4803-990495027FF3CC15" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl" role="document"> <div class="modal-content"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button> <div class="modal-body"> <div class="profile is-inline-lg"> <div class="profile-image-holder"> <img src="https://www.iom3.org/static/5170aacb-e80e-4baa-8269a377f279da1f/whoswhogrid_a2f960173125876b45a1d78e4b52192c_4a7c7e45a350/Sihao-Yu.jpg" class="profile-image" alt="Sihao Yu"/> </div> <div class="profile-content"> <p class="profile-text mb-0">Hong Kong</p> <h3 class="profile-heading">Sihao Yu</h3> <p class="profile-meta"></p> <p><p>Sihao is a 2nd year PhD student in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Hong Kong, under the supervision of Prof Louis Wong. He earned his BEng (2020) in Civil Engineering from Southeast University, China, followed by an MPhil (2023) in Geotechnical Engineering from Tongji University, China. His current research focuses on the application of artificial intelligence in geotechnical engineering practice, particularly advanced computer vision techniques.</p> <p>In his spare time, Sihao enjoys outdoor activities like hiking and ball games</p> <h4>A deep learning-based framework for automatic rock core logging</h4> <p>Rock core logging plays a crucial role in obtaining geological and geotechnical information such as lithology and Rock Quality Designation (RQD). However, traditional rock core logging procedures are often tedious and time-consuming, especially for highly fractured rock cores. Have you ever imagined that such domain-professional work could be aided by artificial intelligence? Prof Louis Wong and his research team at HKU have developed an autonomous framework for performing core logging that mimics human processes.</p> <p>This presentation will showcase ongoing research to further improve automatic lithology classification and RQD estimation. A deep learning-based framework has been trained to classify rock cores into different categories. Moreover, this framework can also segment cores at a high accuracy, allowing the subsequent automatic RQD calculation. Upon further verification, the plan is to update the framework and integrate it into a publicly accessible website for widespread use.</p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="profile"> <a href="#" class="profile-image-holder" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#who-C478C300-34F4-4968-A8F8FBA9AAC3F343"> <img src="https://www.iom3.org/static/9cd3b51a-ecbf-45ab-acbe408a3bd78dc9/whoswhogrid_a2f960173125876b45a1d78e4b52192c_4a7c7e45a350/Oliver-Preuss-DGM-Web2.jpg" class="profile-image" alt="Oliver Marian Preuß"/> </a> <div class="profile-content"> <p class="profile-text mb-0">FEMS</p> <h4 class="profile-heading mb-0"> <a href="#" class="profile-image-holder mb-0" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#who-C478C300-34F4-4968-A8F8FBA9AAC3F343">Oliver Marian Preuß</a> </h4> <p class="profile-meta"></p> </div> <div class="modal fade" id="who-C478C300-34F4-4968-A8F8FBA9AAC3F343" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl" role="document"> <div class="modal-content"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button> <div class="modal-body"> <div class="profile is-inline-lg"> <div class="profile-image-holder"> <img src="https://www.iom3.org/static/9cd3b51a-ecbf-45ab-acbe408a3bd78dc9/whoswhogrid_a2f960173125876b45a1d78e4b52192c_4a7c7e45a350/Oliver-Preuss-DGM-Web2.jpg" class="profile-image" alt="Oliver Marian Preuß"/> </div> <div class="profile-content"> <p class="profile-text mb-0">FEMS</p> <h3 class="profile-heading">Oliver Marian Preuß</h3> <p class="profile-meta"></p> <p><p>Oliver studied Materials Science at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany. After investigating the mechanical properties of diamond coatings during his Bachelor's thesis, he did his Master's thesis in the field of dislocations in ceramics in 2021, under the supervision of Dr Xufei Fang.

In this study, we focus on dislocation-tuned mechanical properties and demonstrate that, by engineering high dislocation densities (up to 1014 per m2) into KNbO3 at room temperature, the fracture toughness can be increased by a factor of 2.8 compared to the reference.</p> <p>A strong interaction between the dislocations and the ferroelectric domains was found, whose effect on the toughness is ruled out by a high-temperature indentation experiment. By an improved deformation technique, the dislocation density in MgO can reach over 1015 per m2, which leads to full crack suppression.</p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="profile"> <a href="#" class="profile-image-holder" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#who-7FF160AF-0E83-4772-A634A60D7DF027CC"> <img src="https://www.iom3.org/static/b8cf1591-6e8b-4207-bff973fe623121c3/whoswhogrid_a2f960173125876b45a1d78e4b52192c_4a7c7e45a350/Sebasa-Ramahlare.jpg" class="profile-image" alt="Sebasa Theresa Ramahlare"/> </a> <div class="profile-content"> <p class="profile-text mb-0">South Africa</p> <h4 class="profile-heading mb-0"> <a href="#" class="profile-image-holder mb-0" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#who-7FF160AF-0E83-4772-A634A60D7DF027CC">Sebasa Theresa Ramahlare</a> </h4> <p class="profile-meta"></p> </div> <div class="modal fade" id="who-7FF160AF-0E83-4772-A634A60D7DF027CC" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl" role="document"> <div class="modal-content"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button> <div class="modal-body"> <div class="profile is-inline-lg"> <div class="profile-image-holder"> <img src="https://www.iom3.org/static/b8cf1591-6e8b-4207-bff973fe623121c3/whoswhogrid_a2f960173125876b45a1d78e4b52192c_4a7c7e45a350/Sebasa-Ramahlare.jpg" class="profile-image" alt="Sebasa Theresa Ramahlare"/> </div> <div class="profile-content"> <p class="profile-text mb-0">South Africa</p> <h3 class="profile-heading">Sebasa Theresa Ramahlare</h3> <p class="profile-meta"></p> <p><p>Sebasa is from Mohodi ga Manthata, a village in the Limpopo province, South Africa.

Conventional plastic mulch presents challenges with disposal, increasing pollution, and breakdown into microplastics, leading to ecological problems. The current materials are synthetic and nondegradable, raising environmental concerns. This work was conducted to develop biobased plastic materials from biopolymers and biomass waste residues. Local biomass was used to modify biodegradable polymers to tailor biodegradability to suit the mulching of different lifecycles.</p> <p>The physical and chemical properties of the materials were studied. The optimized mulch plastics were taken for laboratory and agricultural field trials to test the value proposition and practicality of use. The results revealed good properties comparable to conventional nonbiodegradable mulch plastics, with the added advantage of 100% biodegradability. These offer a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic mulch, which reduces plastic pollution.</p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="profile"> <a href="#" class="profile-image-holder" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#who-C5A53350-203F-403C-AFD806C315AC5117"> <img src="https://www.iom3.org/static/5a232e89-6679-4bde-a65612f5119df546/whoswhogrid_a2f960173125876b45a1d78e4b52192c_4a7c7e45a350/Jerome-Liew.jpg" class="profile-image" alt="Jerome Liew"/> </a> <div class="profile-content"> <p class="profile-text mb-0">Malaysia</p> <h4 class="profile-heading mb-0"> <a href="#" class="profile-image-holder mb-0" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#who-C5A53350-203F-403C-AFD806C315AC5117">Jerome Liew</a> </h4> <p class="profile-meta"></p> </div> <div class="modal fade" id="who-C5A53350-203F-403C-AFD806C315AC5117" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl" role="document"> <div class="modal-content"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button> <div class="modal-body"> <div class="profile is-inline-lg"> <div class="profile-image-holder"> <img src="https://www.iom3.org/static/5a232e89-6679-4bde-a65612f5119df546/whoswhogrid_a2f960173125876b45a1d78e4b52192c_4a7c7e45a350/Jerome-Liew.jpg" class="profile-image" alt="Jerome Liew"/> </div> <div class="profile-content"> <p class="profile-text mb-0">Malaysia</p> <h3 class="profile-heading">Jerome Liew</h3> <p class="profile-meta"></p> <p><p>Jerome Liew is a PhD candidate at Universiti Malaya (UM) studying Doctor of Philosophy in Physical Science.

Various MXene synthesis methods were examined for the best MXene without the direct usage of hydrofluoric acid. Silicon anode faces the issue of massive volumetric changes during charging and discharging that cause its pulverisation, limiting its practical applications.</p> <p>By electrostatic assembly of MXene and silicon and the coating of the composite thereof, the exorbitant aspect ratio of MXene provides extra active sites for redox reaction, and the 3D matrix formed by MXene establishes electronic transport pathways and promotes carrier transfer, increasing rate performance. The matrix also provides mechanical integrity to the composite, confining silicon nanoparticles from pulverising, and improving the longevity of silicon anodes. This concurrently addresses the restacking phenomenon of MXene due to the intercalation of silicon nanoparticles, demonstrating the synergistic effects of the composite.</p> <p> </p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h3>Judging panel</h3> <div class="profile-grid profile-grid-four"> <div class="profile"> <a href="#" class="profile-image-holder" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#who-5A4C61E6-6CD2-43DC-B550B5141C539C8C"> <img src="https://www.iom3.org/static/519b1a26-bb84-4a6b-b4270e8cbeb1614b/whoswhogrid_a2f960173125876b45a1d78e4b52192c_4a7c7e45a350/Kate-Thornton-WEB-2.jpg" class="profile-image" alt="Dr Kate Thornton CEng CSci FIMMM"/> </a> <div class="profile-content"> <p class="profile-text mb-0">President 2023-2024</p> <h4 class="profile-heading mb-0"> <a href="#" class="profile-image-holder mb-0" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#who-5A4C61E6-6CD2-43DC-B550B5141C539C8C">Dr Kate Thornton CEng CSci FIMMM</a> </h4> <p class="profile-meta"></p> </div> <div class="modal fade" id="who-5A4C61E6-6CD2-43DC-B550B5141C539C8C" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl" role="document"> <div class="modal-content"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button> <div class="modal-body"> <div class="profile is-inline-lg"> <div class="profile-image-holder"> <img src="https://www.iom3.org/static/519b1a26-bb84-4a6b-b4270e8cbeb1614b/whoswhogrid_a2f960173125876b45a1d78e4b52192c_4a7c7e45a350/Kate-Thornton-WEB-2.jpg" class="profile-image" alt="Dr Kate Thornton CEng CSci FIMMM"/> </div> <div class="profile-content"> <p class="profile-text mb-0">President 2023-2024</p> <h3 class="profile-heading">Dr Kate Thornton CEng CSci FIMMM</h3> <p class="profile-meta"></p> <p><p>Kate works as a Lead Research Scientist at Croda in Widnes and Her work is focused on sustainable Biopolymers. </p> <p>Kate studied Biomedical Material Science for her undergraduate degree at the University of Manchester.
