At the 24th IEEE International Conference on Nanotechnology (NANO 2024) held in Gijon, Spain on 9-11 July 2024, Professor Wang Xinran from NJU School of Electronic Science and Engineering was presented the IEEE NTC Technical Achievement Award for his "contributions to the growth of 2D semiconductors and their electronic device applications." Professor Wang also made a keynote report entitled "2D semiconductors for future computing."

The IEEE NTC (the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Nanotechnology Council) Technical Achievement Award was established in 2022 to recognize individuals with outstanding and innovative contributions to in the field of nanotechnology. The selection criteria include the quality of their achievements, impact on the relevant field and community, and service on the Nanotechnology Council.

Prof. Wang’s team has been deeply engaged in the field of 2D semiconductors for more than 10 years, and has achieved systematic innovations in large-area single-crystal preparation-high-performance transistor devices-integrated optoelectronics and brain-like chips. 

In the past 10 years, Prof. Wang has published many papers as the corresponding author in journals and flagship conferences such as Nature, Nature Nano., Nature Electron. and IEEE IEDM, with a total of more than 31,000 citations. He has authorized 10 patents for invention in China and the United States. He received the Xplorer Prize, Kun Huang Prize on Solid-state and Semiconductor Physics, and the National Youth Science & Technology Award of China for his contributions to 2D semiconductor materials and devices, and has been selected as a Global Highly Cited Scholar several times.
