Biography

Dr. Da LUO received his B.S. degree in Chemistry from Shandong University in 2009, and earned his PhD in Inorganic Chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Yan Li at Peking University in 2014. From 2014 to 2019, he pursued postdoctoral research with Prof. Rodney S. Ruoff at the Center for Multidimensional Carbon Materials, part of the Institute for Basic Science in the Republic of Korea. In 2019, he was promoted to tenure-track research fellow at the same center, and in 2022, he became a Team Leader, focusing on the synthesis of carbon materials. Dr. LUO’s research interests include the controlled synthesis of low-dimensional carbon materials, including graphene, (nano-)diamonds, and single-walled carbon nanotubes, as well as the exploration of their electronic and mechanical properties. He has published 40 peer-reviewed journal articles, with first-author and corresponding-author papers in top journals such as Nature (2), Advanced Materials (4), and Physical Review Letters.
