About
Momoko Onodera is a pioneer in the automated assembly of van der Waals heterostructures, a field central to modern materials science. Her key research areas include robotic manipulation of two-dimensional (2D) crystals, precision stacking techniques, and the construction of artificial superlattices. Onodera’s major contribution is the development of an autonomous robotic system that searches for and assembles atomically thin 2D crystals into van der Waals superlattices—a process that was previously manual, tedious, and error-prone. Her seminal 2018 paper on this topic has garnered 296 citations, reflecting its transformative impact on the field. In her highly cited 2019 review, she systematically outlined the challenges and solutions in exfoliating, searching, and stacking 2D materials, providing a roadmap for researchers. Onodera’s work has dramatically accelerated the fabrication of custom heterostructures, enabling new discoveries in quantum physics and nanoelectronics. Her achievements stand out for merging robotics with materials science, offering a scalable path to explore the nearly infinite combinatorial possibilities of layered materials.
