I received my bachelor's degree in 2019 under supervision of Prof. Hao Li. The title of my bachelor thesis was preparation and catalytic properties of compositions of cobalt, nickel and copper oxides. Non-precious metal catalytic materials were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and used in the study of hydrogen production by hydrolysis of ammonia borane.

After that, I followed A.P. Sujuan Wu & Prof. Jinwei Gao to regulate the photoelectric performance of tin-based perovskite solar cells. By preparing high-quality (flat and hole-free) perovskite layers and low-acid hole transport layers, efficient and stable tin-based photovoltaic device was obtained. Based on this, I graduated with a master's degree from South China Academy of Advanced Optoelectronics, South China Normal University in 2022. In addition, both my bachelor and master's theses were nominated as excellent.

After graduating from the master's program, I conducted research in transistor computational optics and participated in the design and tapeout of the mask. Here, I have a deeper understanding of the semiconductor device manufacturing process.

In 2024, I joined Prof. René Janssen's research group as a PhD candidate. My research direction is to explore new mixed-cation mixed-halide Sn perovskites for photovoltaic applications. I hope that all photovoltaic colleagues will join us and carry out further cooperation.
