About the Authors
Chin Wee Shong is an Associate Professor of FM
Chemistry at the National University of
Singapore. Her research interests include the studies
of nanostructures and their assemblies, the mecha-
nism of size-, shape- and phase-controlled formation
of nanocrystals, solution and templated synthe-
sis of various types of nanomaterials and hybrid
materials. She has vast experience in the teaching of
undergraduate physical chemistry courses, includ-
ing topics such as spectroscopy, kinetics, electro-
chemistry, solid state as well as surface chemistry.

Sow Chorng Haur is an Associate Professor of
Physics at the National University of Singapore. His
research interests include the studies of nanomate-
rials systems such as carbon nanotubes and nanos-
tructured metallic oxides, development of nanofab-
rication techniques such as focused laser beam
nanofabrication, studies of colloidal systems, and
development of the optical tweezers techniques for
contactless manipulation of micro- and nanoscale
objects.

Andrew T S Wee is a Professor of Physics at the
National University of Singapore. His research
interests include surface nanostructure formation,
molecular self-assembly on nanotemplates, syn-
chrotron and scanning tunneling microscopy stud-
ies of surfaces and interfaces, graphene and related
nanomaterials. He is in the editorial board of several
journals, including Applied Physics Letters-Journal
of Applied Physics, Surface and Interface Analysis, In-
ternational Journal of Nanoscience, Surface Review and
Letters, and Current Nanoscience. He is also Past Pres-
ident & Fellow of the Institute of Physics Singapore,
and a Fellow of the Institute of Physics (UK).
