About

Jacob B. Khurgin is a pioneering researcher in the field of two-dimensional layered materials (2DLMs) and their integration into three-dimensional (3D) optoelectronic and responsive structures. His work focuses on harnessing the unique properties of materials like MoS₂ and graphene to create reconfigurable, stimuli-responsive architectures. A key contribution is the development of reversible MoS₂ origami with spatially resolved and reconfigurable photosensitivity, a breakthrough that enables omnidirectional light detection and enhanced light–matter interactions in 3D optoelectronic devices. This work, published in 2019, has garnered 59 citations, underscoring its impact. Khurgin has also advanced solvent-responsive self-folding of 3D photosensitive graphene architectures, demonstrating highly parallel integration and reversible reconfiguration of flexible photodetector microstructures. His research bridges materials science, photonics, and flexible electronics, with applications in biosensors, wearables, and bioelectronics. Notably, his collaborative efforts with leading researchers have produced transparent, 3D graphene-based devices that push the boundaries of adaptive and multifunctional systems. Khurgin’s innovative approach to merging 2D materials with 3D geometries continues to inspire new directions in smart, responsive technology.
