Vikash Khokhar, a Ph.D. student in Interdisciplinary Materials Science working under the direction of Prof. De-en Jiang, recently presented his research at the ACS Fall Meeting 2025 in Washington DC.
His talk, 鈥淪tructure, Reactivity, and Dynamics of Amine Derived Polydentate Ligands on MXenes鈥�, was featured in the symposium Chemistry of MXenes: Synthesis, Structure, Properties, and Applications. His work advances understanding of how organic functional ligands interact with MXenes, a class of 2D materials with wide-ranging applications in energy, catalysis, and electronics, using computational tools like Density Functional Theory and MD聽Simulation.聽
He is part of NSF’s MXenes Synthesis, Tunability and React ivity (M-STAR) Centre for Chemical Innovation.聽
