The NUS Graphene Research Centre

 

Our Vision

The NUS Graphene Research Centre (GC) was created for the conception, characterization, theoretical modeling, and development of transformative technologies based on two-dimensional crystals, such as graphene.

Aiming at being a world leader in innovative and emergent materials science, with strong ties to the industry and academia, the GC will directly contribute to a new generation of scientists and engineers who will have a permanent impact in the society and business enterprise landscape of Singapore, and worldwide.

History and Funding

NUS established the GC in 2010, under the leadership of Prof. Antonio H. Castro Neto, with a start-up fund from NUS of S$ 40 Million, 1,000 m2 of laboratory space, and a state-of-the-art clean room facility of 800 m2.  With these top-notch facilities, the GC will be one of the best equipped and advanced graphene research centers in the world.

In 2011, the GC was awarded two important grants: a S$10 Million CRP grant from NRF for the growth, study, and commercialization of two-dimensional crystals beyond graphene; GC is also participating on a S$ 50 Million CREATE grant from NRF, together with UC Berkeley and NTU, for the study of new photovoltaic systems based on two-dimensional crystals.
