Roshan Castelino

Roshan Castelino is a Researcher at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Namur, specializing in advanced materials science. He holds a Doctorate in Sciences and has contributed significantly to the field of 2D materials synthesis through molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).

His research focuses on:

• Phase-controlled growth of molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2)
• Graphene-based heterostructures
• Moiré pattern analysis in layered materials
• Surface state characterization of 2D materials
• Temperature-dependent crystalline quality optimization
• Oxidation and recovery mechanisms in thin films

Recent publications highlight his work on MoTe2/graphene systems and their applications in 2D materials engineering. Dr. Castelino's research has attracted international collaborations and media attention, particularly for his 2021 PhD thesis completion.
