Bio: Huimin completed her PhD at Uppsala University in the department of Chemistry. Her research was on lead-free perovskite-inspired metal-halide solar absorbers for photovoltaics (2015-2019). Then she joined the ICFO in Barcelona, Spain as a post-doctoral researcher (2020), focusing on tin-based perovskite solar cells. She was awarded an E4F postdoctoral fellowship, and started her research at University of Strathclyde in the Department of Physics as her main host. She is simultaneously a visitor to the Hoye Group at Oxford. Her current research is on the lead-free rudorffites based light absorbers for indoor photovoltaic application.
