This year, FLEET's annual workshop took place at the Mantra Lorne. It was a five-day event where FLEET members shared the outcomes and progress of their research. There were many insightful talks across FLEET's three research themes.
From our group, Ben shared his recent work on demonstrating the first ever Mott metal-insulator transition in a metal-organic framework, which is now up on the arxiv. Mitko presented his latest experimental data on forming exciton-polaritons in a perovskite (stay tuned!) while Phat spoke about his progress towards using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy to probe the opening of a topological gap in graphene with circularly polarised light.
There were also two poster sessions where FLEET researchers showcased their recent advancements, achievements, and challenges. I presented a poster showcasing my recent developments on fabricating transistor-like graphene devices which will be used to explore electron-electron correlations in metal-organic frameworks. I was fortunate enough to win one of three best poster awards, alongside Emily and Caiden.
