Bio: Yuchen was a DPhil student, supervised by Prof. Hoye. He began his PhD at Imperial (2021-) before transferring to Oxford, where he was also part of Worcester College. He was working on developing solution- and vapour-processed CuSbSe2 thin films and investigating its charge-carrier transport and defect properties, as well as developing these materials into photovoltaic devices. Yuchen completed his DPhil in 2025.

Location: Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3QR
