of obtaining large-scale epitaxial graphene on silicon carbide on silicon. Iacopi describes the procedure for graphene synthesis in the article and also discusses the key characteristics of the process. In a similar article in 2014 about the graphitized silicon carbide microbeams, Iacopi explains the proven procedures and methods to obtain graphene on silicon wafers in a site-selective way, while also discussing the limitations. This research points to the replacing conductive metal films in MEMS and NEMS devices with the carbon-nickel alloy method. This invention earned her a Global Innovation Award from the TechConnect in 2014. Because of her research contributions, Iacopi and her research has been cited in various announcements and press-releases. In a follow-up to this research, she further proves the effectiveness of using the nickel-copper alloy for the production of large –scale epitaxial graphene on silicon with electrical conductivity comparable to graphene on silicon carbide wafers. Her current research at the University of Technology Sydney focuses on graphene and other two-dimensional materials on silicon for More-than-Moore applications, and to enable novel materials and functionalities for miniaturized systems encompassing electronics, photonics, sensing and energy.
