Yen-Hung Lin is an Assistant Professor of Electronic and Computer Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology [link]. His research group concentrates on exploiting material intelligibility to identify technological bottlenecks in new generations of semiconductor devices—focusing on full device optimisation for practical longevity and their lifetime prediction through deep learning. His team primarily works on low-power transistors, memristors, and photovoltaic harvesters. Examples of devices of interest include field-effect gateable platforms for sensing, optoneuristors for biological feature recognition, and neural-network-describable of photovoltaic cell characteristics. These efforts form a part of a broader initiative to develop economical solutions that address the societal challenges of energy sustainability and healthcare technology facing our modern society [link].
He previously held research positions at Oxford University and Imperial College London. Before beginning his research career in the UK, he worked as a senior R&D engineer at AU Optronics, Taiwan [link]. Yen is a Materials Research Society (MRS) Graduate Student Gold Awardee, the third from the UK and the first from Imperial College [link], and a recipient of the Solid-State Physics Prize, awarded annually by Imperial College [link]. He is currently an Associate Editor of American Physical Society (APS) PRX Energy [link].
Yen's group constantly has openings for researchers at all levels, including PhD and master's studentships, undergraduate internships, and postdoctoral fellowships. He also welcomes fellow scientists for academic visits. More information is available on his website. For any inquiries or requests, please contact him via email.
