I am a PhD student in Applied Physics. My research focused on photovoltaic band structure modulation by van der Waals core-shell quantum structures. During my Ph.D. studies, I have worked on several research projects that will contribute to the fields of nanotechnology and renewable energy applications.
I developed a UV–Vis spectroscopy–based method to quantify quantum dots (particles <10 nm) in liquids produced via cryo-mediated exfoliation. This approach enables precise quantification across diverse applications, improving research reproducibility, reducing measurement errors, and shortening measurement time.
My research on core–shell heterostructure solar cells demonstrates that integrating novel core materials with suitable shells can achieve measurable power conversion efficiency (PCE). This core material, developed in Dr. Yap’s laboratory, shows significant potential when incorporated into carefully engineered core–shell architectures. These findings highlight a promising pathway toward more efficient, stable, and environmentally friendly materials for next-generation solar cells.
I am sincerely thankful to the Graduate School and the Graduate Dean Advisory Panel for this fellowship. I am deeply grateful to my advisor, Dr. Yap, for his invaluable guidance and unwavering support.
