Ageeth Bol is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on the synthesis and application of two-dimensional nanomaterials, particularly through atomic layer deposition (ALD) methods. Bol's group is pioneering the use of ALD for the scalable, low-temperature preparation of thin films, achieving precise thickness control and enabling large-area synthesis of 2D materials. Current research interests involve the ALD of transition metal dichalcogenides (2D-TMDs) and their integration into optoelectronic devices and catalysis. Key techniques employed in her research include plasma-enhanced ALD for tuning the functionalities and morphological properties of 2D-TMDs. Furthermore, her work entails investigating the ALD reaction mechanisms further utilizing high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and DFT simulations. Bol and her team implement a variety of spectroscopic techniques to test the characteristics of newly synthesized materials, focusing on their electrocatalytic properties.
