I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the Chinese University of Hong Kong with a joint appointment in the Department of Electronic Engineering and the Shun Hing Institute of Advanced Engineering. My work focuses on how ionic properties influence the stability and performance of perovskite solar cells, including their operation in low-light and indoor environments.
I remain affiliated with the University of Oxford as a visitor, having completed my DPhil in July 2025 in the group of Prof. Henry Snaith. My doctoral research centred on stability engineering in p-i-n perovskite solar cells, with a focus on electrode materials, diffusion barriers, and light/thermal ageing. I am currently finalising two publications: one on blade-coated carbon electrodes for p-i-n devices and one on metal-electrode stabilisation.
I hold an MSc in Energy Science and Engineering from TU Darmstadt and have industry experience from Merck KGaA in quality control. During my PhD I was a visiting researcher at Fraunhofer ISE in Germany, working on alternative carbon electrode deposition techniques.
Throughout my PhD, I gained in-depth experience in designing and fabricating perovskite solar cells, including deposition techniques such as blade coating and atomic layer deposition. My expertise further covers device and materials characterisation (XRD, SEM, PLQY, TRPL, EQE). I have presented at four international conferences, secured successful grant applications, and obtained equipment time at a national TEM facility.
