Background

I obtained my BSc degree at Taiyuan University of Technology, China in 2022, specialising in Materials Chemistry. Then I studied Materials Science at University College London and received my master's degree with distinction in 2023. During the last year of my undergraduate degree, I studied the effect of indium on the corrosion behavior of magnesium alloys. For my master's research project, I focused on lead-free halide perovskites for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, supervised by Dr. Mojtaba Abdi Jalebi. In addition to my current research, I have some experience in electrochemistry.

In October 2023, I began my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Rebecca Milot.

Research

Despite the rapid development in perovskite solar cells, there is still a gap in our fundamental knowledge of the charge carrier dynamics of these metal halide perovskites. By characterizing the excited-state dynamics in metal halide perovskites, we can further understanding the optoelectronic properties, like charge carrier generation, cooing and recombination. All these are important for further optimization of these devices.

Based on photoluminescence spectroscopy and ultrafast techniques, including transient absorption spectroscopy and optical pump-terahertz probe spectroscopy, I can investigate the charge carrier behavior of perovskite thin films to unravel the mechanisms underlying the outstanding performance of this special class of photovoltaics.

Teaching

I am a demonstrator for the 2nd year undergraduate labs, PX271/283.
