About

Saiyu Bu is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of two-dimensional (2D) materials and robotic automation, whose work is revolutionizing the scalable fabrication and characterization of atomically thin materials. Bu’s primary research areas include the automated synthesis, transfer, and processing of 2D materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, with a focus on integrating robotics to overcome manual handling limitations. Their most-cited paper, "Automated processing and transfer of two-dimensional materials with robotics" (2025, 18 citations), introduces a groundbreaking robotic platform that enables precise, contamination-free transfer of 2D flakes, dramatically improving reproducibility and throughput for device fabrication. This work addresses a critical bottleneck in the field, where manual transfer often introduces defects and variability. Bu’s contributions have been recognized for their potential to accelerate the commercialization of 2D material-based electronics, sensors, and quantum devices. By merging robotics with materials science, Bu is paving the way for high-throughput, reliable manufacturing processes. Their research continues to inspire innovations in automated nanomaterial handling, making them a rising leader in the intersection of robotics and nanotechnology.
