2026 14th International Conference on Nano and Materials Science
ICNMS 2026
January 21-24, 2026 | Singapore
2026 Keynote Speakers
Prof. Antonio H. Castro Neto
National University of Singapore, Singapore
Prof. Antonio H. Castro Neto got his Ph.D. in Physics at University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1994. His thesis studied the
fundamentals of the theory of metals. In 1994, he moved to the
Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California at
Santa Barbara as a postdoctoral fellow where he dedicated his
attention to low dimensional materials such as high temperature
superconductors and conducting polymers. In 1995, he became an
Assistant Professor at University of California at Riverside where
he wrote fundamental work on the theory of disordered magnetic
materials. In 2000, he moved to Boston University as Professor of
Physics. At Boston, Prof. Castro Neto became one of the leading
theorists in the study of graphene and other two dimensional
materials. Since 2010, Prof. Castro Neto is the Director of the
Graphene Research Center and in 2014 he became Director of the
Centre for Advanced 2D Materials funded by the National Research
Foundation of Singapore.
Prof. Castro Neto is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of
Material Science Engineering and Physics, he is also Professor at
the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, at the
National University of Singapore. In 2003, Prof. Castro Neto was
elected a fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) and in 2011
he was elected a fellow of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science (AAAS). He is the Colloquia Editor for
Reviews of Modern Physics, and member of the Editorial Board of
“Chinese Physics B” and “Acta Physica Sinica”.
Prof. Castro Neto was awarded the 11th Ross J. Martin Award by the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; the University of
California Regent Fellowship; the Alfred P. Sloan Research
Fellowship; the visiting Miller Professorship by the University of
California, Berkeley; the visiting Gordon Godfrey Professorship by
the University of New South Wales, Australia; the Distinguished
Visiting Chair Professor at the SKKU Advanced Institute of Nano-Technology
(SAINT), South Korea; the Hsun Lee Lecture Award by the Institute of
Metal Research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences; and Kramers
Professorship at the University of Utrecht, the Netherlands.
Prof. Yun Wang
Fellow of ASME & RSC
University of California, Irvine, USA
Yun Wang received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Mechanics and Engineering Science from Peking University in 1998 and 2001, respectively. He went to the Pennsylvania State University where he earned his Ph.D degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2006. Dr. Wang joined the MAE (Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering) faculty at the University of California, Irvine in 2006. He has produced over 100 publications in PEM fuel cell, Li-air battery, and other energy systems, including three books on PEM Fuel Cell and a Practical Handbook of Thermal Fluid Science. Dr. Wang served as Track chair/co-chair, session chair/co-chair, conference chair and committee member for many international conferences on fuel cell, thermal energy, and machine learning. Dr. Wang received 2018 Reviewer of The Year from the Journal of Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage and is currently Professor at the UC Irvine, ASME fellow, RSC fellow, and associate editor for the journal of heat and mass transfer.
