Last Friday, Nawal presented her research at the UCD–TUD International Day of Light, hosted at the TU Dublin.
She shared insights into how Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) can be utilized to machine hard and brittle crystals at the nanoscale. Crucially, Nawal discussed how nanomachining can complement existing nanofabrication techniques—and how combining these methods could fundamentally shape the future of Nanophotonics.
