Strategic Objectives
• Decode the transition from chaotic 3D solutions to ordered 2D architectures.
• Master the thermodynamic and kinetic drivers of surface-confined systems.
• Optimize molecular self-assembly for next-generation nanotechnology.
• Understand how substrates like gold and graphite dictate chemical pathways.
The Core Challenge
Traditional 3D chemistry fails to predict how molecules behave when trapped on a surface, leading to inefficient material design.
