Sufei Shi is an Associate Professor at Carnegie Mellon University specializing in graphene and 2D materials, van der Waals heterostructure and devices, optoelectronics, and optical phenomena. Her research explores the unique electronic and optical properties of atomically thin materials, focusing on charge transfer, excitonic effects, and correlated insulating states. Shi's work includes the study of interlayer excitons, valley excitons, and their interactions with phonons and plasmons. She investigates the potential of 2D materials for optoelectronic applications, such as terahertz modulation and photoluminescence enhancement. Her research also extends to hybrid structures combining graphene with metasurfaces and quantum dots, aiming to improve optical and electronic performance in next-generation devices.
