معرفی
Dylan Sherman is a DPhil (Doctor of Philosophy) Researcher at the University of Oxford, affiliated with the Materials Engineering Department and Trinity College. His research focuses on designing and engineering MOF-tronic nanosheets—3D Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) materials with tunable electrical and optical properties. His doctoral studies are supported by the prestigious 2020 Australian BHP Sir John Monash Scholarship and the Oxford Clarendon Scholarship.
Before pursuing his DPhil, Dylan earned a Bachelor of Science (Advanced) with the University Medal and First Class Honours from the University of Sydney, where he investigated redox-active multifunctional MOFs. He also holds a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) and practiced law at Clayton Utz, demonstrating interdisciplinary expertise in both STEM and legal fields.
His current research interests span nanoscale materials engineering, MOFs, photonics/optoelectronics, and gas storage/separation. Key projects include developing MOF-tronic nanosheets for functional applications and exploring their photophysical and mechanical behaviors. His work has been published in high-impact journals like Nature Communications and ChemPhysChem.
Awards include scholarships from the Australian BHP Sir John Monash Foundation and Oxford Clarendon. His research aligns with the Materials Engineering & Materials Characterization (MMC) Lab at Oxford, where he contributes to advancing functional materials science.
