1st Open BRICS Conference on Smart Materials and Devices 2024
28-30 May 2024, Shenzhen, China
Appreciating the ongoing abrupt move to the new multipolar world, the year of Dragon 2024 will see an expansion of BRICS union with 5 new members towards nearly half of the world population. For us as the scientists this means that more opportunities for scientific collaborations, submissions of multi-national grant proposals and educational programs will be open. In all these new initiatives considerable attention should be paid to research topics related to smart materials and devices which are of key importance for the technological and economical development of all BRICS countries. Thus it is the right time to meet all together, exchange our great ideas and define possible directions for future collaborations.
BRICS 1OCSMD will be organized for the first time in May 2024 and hosted by Laboratory of 2D Optoelectronics and Nanoelectronics (L2DON) leaded by Prof. Yury Illarionov (official Russian delegate of 5th BRICS Young Scientist Forum 2020 and past participant of BRICS STI Framework project) in Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), Shenzhen, China. The conference will feature various areas related to smart materials and devices:
Electrical, optical and mechanical properties 2D materials (graphene, TMDs, black phosphorus, etc) - Emerging devices based on 2D materials, thin film semiconductors, etc
- Advanced modeling of material properties, including prediction of new materials
- Advanced TCAD modeling of semiconductor devices
- Smart materials for health care and environmental applications
- Materials and devices for quantum technologies, quantum algorithms and computing
We have finally confirmed speakers from 8 BRICS members: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Iran, as well as several participants from Singapore, Austria and Germany.

Laboratory of 2D Optoelectronics and Nanoelectronics (L2DON) is led by Associate Professor Yury Illarionov and belongs to the Department of Materials Science and Engineering of the Southern University of Science and Technology, Shenzhen, China. Our research is centered around devices based on 2D materials, mainly field-effect transistors and photodetectors. While our laboratory is new, by Fall 2024 we are expected to have facilities for device nanofabrication and electrical characterization. At the moment we are mostly focused on modeling of the reliability of field-effect transistors with 2D channels using advanced TCAD tools and compact models.
The Department of Theoretical Physics named after E. V. Shpol'sky of the Moscow Pedagogical State University (MPGU, Moscow, Russia) was founded in 1939. The main direction of the department's educational activities is the training of scientific and pedagogical personnel in all main areas of life sciences based on physics. The department gained international fame in connection with the discovery in its laboratory of the Shpol'sky effect - the effect of the appearance of fine-structured quasi-line spectra in frozen solutions of complex organic compounds. This effect is at the foundation of the Nobel prize in chemistry 2014 for the development of super-resolution fluorescence microscopy.
Date: May 28-30, 2024
Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) is an innovation-oriented public university founded by Shenzhen government in the background of China's higher education reform. It aspires to be a model and pioneer for promoting higher education reform.
