Jim De Yoreo is an Affiliate Professor of Chemistry and of Materials Science and Engineering. Research in the De Yoreo lab focuses on understanding the pathways of nanoscale and solution-processed materials synthesis, including 2D materials synthesis using materials characterization methods of spectroscopy and microscopy. In particular his lab investigates the dynamics of nucleation, growth, transformation and self-assembly of nano materials. Insights into the underlying mechanisms are obtained by using in situ microscopy and spectroscopy tools to directly probe the organization of atomic, molecular and nanoparticle species.
