Researcher

Mr Leong Jin Feng has a Bachelor in Science (Physics) with Honours from the National University of Singapore (NUS). He was awarded the Kent Ridge Undergraduate Scholarship for his undergraduate studies and he was also admitted into the Special Programme in Science, which aims to develop young undergraduate researchers in integrated science research.  In this programme, he has undertook research with a scientist from the Centre of Climate Research Singapore on understanding the Sumatra Squall Line phenomenon with the help of weather simulations.

He has also spent two years with Professor Sow Chorng Haur from the Department of Physics in NUS, both as a Final Year Project student and a research assistant. During this period, he was involved in the study of defects and its effects on the optical properties of a two-dimensional material, Tungsten disulfide. In addition, he has also investigated chemical vapour deposition methods and transfer methods of two-dimensional materials.

Currently, he is a PhD student under Professor Aaron Thean. He is working on using two-dimensional materials for development of in-memory devices and neuromorphic computing.
