Shujuan Huang is Professor in the School of Engineering at Macquarie University. She received her BE and ME in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University, China and PhD in Material Engineering from Hiroshima University, Japan. From 2001 to 2004 she was a Research Fellow in the Graduate School of Advanced Science of Matter, Hiroshima University, Japan. She joined the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at UNSW Sydney in 2006. Her research has been focused on developing nanomaterials for future generation low-cost and high-efficiency opto-electronic devices, with particular expertise in solution-based processes, fabrication and advanced characterization of semiconductor thin film solar cells.

3 PhD positions are available. Please contact Prof Huang if you have research experence in quantum dot synthesis or perovskite solar cells. ([email protected])
