Dr. Jason (Junzhi) Ye
Bio: Jason completed his PhD on all-inorganic nanostructured lead-halide perovskites for light-emission applications. His PhD was completed at the University of Cambridge in the Optoelectronics Group (Department of Physics), with Prof. Akshay Rao as his primary supervisor and Prof. Hoye as his co-supervisor. Jason has started his postdoctoral position in the group, working on energy harvesting.
