Sabina Simon

• Planned and conducted experiments under specific lab conditions that led to the achievement and better understanding of novel material systems with great implications for prospective electronic applications and devices • Performed data analysis and interpretation, preparation and presentation of scientific content (oral & written) • Assisted & oversaw student works and internships within the research group • Held teaching responsibilities as tutor for advanced student lab experiments within the department

• Carried out experiments using specialized techniques for material synthesis and characterization under specific laboratory conditions, including data analysis, interpretation and presentation • Assisted students in learning and solving exercises and assessed their performance during sessions (part of the solid state physics teaching module), supported their examination preparation with positive results

Synthesized and investigated the morphology, structural and local electronic properties of novel two-dimensional materials (nanostructures and single/multilayers of graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides) under ultra-high vacuum, low temperature and high magnetic field conditions

Synthesized and investigated the morphology and structural properties of graphene single/bilayers upon ion irradiation/atomic carbon deposition and annealing under ultra-high vacuum and room temperature conditions

Synthesized and investigated the morphology, structural, optical and electrical properties of semiconductor ZnO thin films under low vacuum/ambient pressure and room temperature conditions
