معرفی
Dr. Adelina Ilie is a Research Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Bath, where she leads research in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology through multiple interdisciplinary centers including the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Condensed Matter Physics CDT, Centre for Therapeutic Innovation, Condensed Matter and Quantum Materials group, and NanoBioElectronics research.
Her research spans fundamental to applied studies of functional nanomaterials with designed atomic-scale behavior. Specializing in graphene and related 2D materials as well as 2D molecular networks, her group employs advanced scanning probe microscopy techniques under ultra-high vacuum and cryogenic conditions to engineer quantum properties for novel applications in nanoelectronics, spintronics, and biomedical sensing.
Her recent publications reveal strong trends in quantum materials engineering, particularly in superlattice structures, hybrid 2D systems, and bio-nano interfaces. The research demonstrates sophisticated manipulation of electronic, optical, and thermal properties at the atomic scale, with increasing focus on biomedical applications in recent years.
Dr. Ilie actively supervises doctoral students and has served as external examiner for PhD theses at prestigious institutions including University of Cambridge (2024, 2021), University of Oxford (2018), and University of Southampton (2011). Her research is supported by significant grants from EPSRC, MRC, Sir Halley Stewart Foundation, and University of Bath.
Her laboratory maintains state-of-the-art facilities for atomically-resolved scanning probe microscopy (STM and AFM) in ultra-high vacuum and cryogenic environments, complemented by chemical vapor deposition systems for nanomaterial fabrication. She maintains active collaborations across Bath's departments of Pharmacy & Pharmacology, Chemistry, and Biology & Biochemistry, as well as with international research institutes specializing in nanoscience.
