I am an assistant research scientist in the Future Photovoltaic Center at the Global Institute of Future Technology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Our objective is to develop the future technology of solar cells based on stable perovskite solar cells. The director of our center is Prof. Yixin Zhao. I was working as a Research Fellow (from May 2021; funded via EU Horizon 2020) at the Advanced Technology Institute (ATI), University of Surrey, under the supervision of Wei Zhang and S. Ravi P. Silva. I am familiar with the whole process of device fabrication and measurement techniques, in good collaboration with many universities or institutes, such as the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford, the University of Sheffield, Swansea University, Imperial College London, the University of Toronto, Peking University, Institute of Electrical Engineering (Chinese Academy of Sciences), University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Zhengzhou University, Beijing National Laboratory for Condensed Matter Physics. I am also acting as the reviewer for some high-level journals, consisting of Energy & Environmental Materials, Nano Energy, Advanced Functional Materials, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, and Communications Materials.
