Member: Spring 2016 to Summer 2020
Dissertation Title: Energy and charge dynamics in ion-irradiated surfaces and 2D materials from first principles 
Contact information: kononov2@illinois.edu
Research Interest: I am interested in the electronic properties of semiconductors, particularly 2D materials like graphene and transition metal dichaclogenides. These fascinating materials could have applications ranging from flexible electronics to photovoltaics. Currently, I am investigating the charge and energy exchange processes of graphene under ion irradiation, which could inform imaging and processing techniques for this material.
