Bio: Kaiwen is a PhD student (2018-) in Chemical Engineering at Cambridge. He is part of the Cambridge CDT in Graphene Technology, and his primary supervisor is Prof. Laura Torrente. He is co-supervised by Prof. Sam Stranks and Prof. Hoye, and joined when we were based in Cambridge before 2020. He is working on developing the synthesis of core-shell perovskite nanocrystals by flow reactor synthesis.
