Mauricio Terrones

Mauricio Terrones is Evan Pugh University Professor and the George A. and Margaret M. Downsbrough Department Head (Department of Physics) at Penn State, USA. He is Professor of Physics, Chemistry and Materials Science & Engineering. He is also the Founder Director of the Center for 2-Dimensional and Layered Materials at Penn State, and the NSF-IUCRC Center for Atomically Thin Multifunctional Coatings (ATOMIC). He is also the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Carbon (IF=10.5). Mauricio Terrones works on low dimensional materials that mainly involve 1- and 2-Dimensions, ranging from carbon nanotubes and graphene nanoribbons to graphene, boron nitride and chalcogenide monolayers (e.g. WS2, MoS2, NbS2 , etc.). His group concentrates on challenging synthesis of novel nanoscale materials (1D and 2D) with unprecedented physico-chemical properties. He is Fellow of APS, AAAS, TWAS and RSC and he has been a Highly Cited Researcher since 2017 He has been recognized with various national and international awards.
