Welcoming two new Associate Investigators

Dr Dmitry Efimkin

Dr Dmitry Efimkin (right) is a Scientific Associate Investigator at Monash University specialising in novel materials such as Dirac materials, graphene and topological insulators, and optical phenomena in solids. Within FLEET, Dmitry works with CIs Michael Fuhrer, Meera Parish, and Nikhil Medhekar in Research theme 2: exciton superfluids and Enabling technology A: atomically-thin materials, studying optical and collective phenomena in novel 2D materials, and correlations and transport in bilayer systems, including electron-hole condensation and the Coulomb drag effect. He is also interested in the condensation and dipolar superfluidity of spatially separated electrons and holes.

Dr Dongchen Qi

Dr Dongchen Qi is an ARC Future Fellow at Queensland University of Technology, seeking to develop high-performance diamond surface electronics. Within FLEET, he works with CIs Bao and Fuhrer in research theme 2, constructing electron-hole bilayers using diamond–2D oxide heterostructures to explore excitonic transport.
