I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in Professor Qi Yabing’s research group. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree from Fudan University in Shanghai in 2016, Master’s degree from New York University (USA) in 2018, and Doctoral degree from New York University (USA) in 2025. During my doctoral studies, I focused on perovskite crystallography research. I possess solid research capabilities in the controlled synthesis of perovskite crystals, structural regulation, as well as the fabrication and performance optimization of photovoltaic devices.
