Project description
The project aims to develop next-generation of light conversion devices such as solar cells, sensors, and light-emitting devices using cost-effective advanced semiconductors utilising carbon and perovskite materials. This project employs several novel material designs, optoelectronics devices, surface modification techniques, and thin film processing strategies, alongside fundamental and/or computational studies, to meet the objectives.
Candidates with strong backgrounds in physics, chemistry, or engineering are encouraged to apply.
Research environment
The candidate will benefit from a strong cross-disciplinary mentorship team at UQ.
Additionally, the PhD student will have the opportunity to collaborate with international partners of this project in Japan, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, UK, Thailand, and CSIRO. The mentorship team is committed to providing a supportive, high-level research environment for the prospective PhD candidate to flourish. This PhD project will provide opportunities for significant research publications (and/or patents) and valuable skills for a scientific career in academia or industry upon graduation.
