Seth Ariel Tongay ( Hebrew: שת אריאל טונגאי) is an American-Jewish materials scientist and engineer internationally recognized for materials manufacturing of emergent semiconductors and quantum materials [1] [2]. He is the chair of Materials Science and Engineering at Arizona State University and serves as an associate editor at American Institute of Physics (AIP) Applied Physics Reviews [6] and Nature 2D materials & applications by Nature. [7]
His work received several prestigious awards including one from the President of the United States Donald Trump Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers [1] [8] given to outstanding scientists and engineers in the U.S. by the White House. His work has resulted in prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER Award [2] [3] and Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World award. From 2019-2023, his work has seen him identified as one of the most influential researchers over the past decade by Clarivate Analytics and Web of Science. [4] [5] [9] Google Scholar statistics independently identified him as one of the top 10 researchers in the world in the area of quantum materials [10] and the top 50 in two-dimensional materials. [11] He has participated in major government and state-level initiatives. In late 2023, the U.S. federal government selected his team within the White House initiative, the CHIPS Act, to initiate the development of manufacturing processes for next-generation semiconductors, catering to future electronics and infrared technologies. [12] The State of Arizona has awarded the Arizona Water Innovation Initiative, which aims to develop innovative and manufacturable engineering solutions for accessing clean water. [13] [14]
He studied materials physics at the University of Florida working with Prof. Dr. Arthur F. Hebard [15] and a postdoctoral fellowship in materials science and engineering at the University of California, Berkeley and Stanford with Prof. Dr. Junqiao Wu. [16] He is known for his patent integrating conductive graphene into flexible displays, solar cells, and touch screens. [17] His notable and most cited work includes synthesis of 2D and quantum materials, 2D Janus materials, the discovery of quasi-1D materials including Rhenium disulfide (ReS₂), [18] graphene-based high-power devices, [19] and graphene solar cells. [20] [21] [22] His research often uses alloying, defects engineering, dopants, and manufacturing techniques to create a new set of functionalities. His other seminal contributions include establishing the genome of defects in 2D quantum materials, [23] 2D alloying, van der Waals epitaxy, the discovery of Moire excitons in 2Ds, [24] and band alignment theory of 2D superlattices.
