Hi! My name is  Sicheng Deng. My research focus is on the manufacturing and characterisation of electronic transport material for p-i-n perovskite solar cells. I am also collaborating with Diamond Synchrotron Light Source for in-situ characterisation of blade coated perovskite thin film, offering deeper understanding of crystallisation process during blade coating. In my free time, I like to play badminton, doing street photograph and study how to cook a good meal (becoming a chief…).  

My research focuses on copper-based hole-transport materials for solid-state dye-sensitised solar cells, combining molecular design with device studies.In my free time, I enjoy cooking (except for washing dishes) and hiking.

Jiayi is a PhD student from China. Her research focuses on the fabrication of perovskite solar cell absorber layers using green solvents, as well as the application of passivation materials in perovskite solar cells to improve device performance and stability. In her spare time, she enjoys cooking, listening to music, and travelling with friends. 

Maoqing is a PhD student co-supervised with Dr. Julianna Panidi in the School of Engineering. Maoqing obtained his MRes in physics at Imperial College London. With hands-on experience in thin-film fabrication, spectroscopic characterization, and electrochemical testing, he is currently working on environmentally friendly organic photovoltaic devices, aiming to develop efficient and sustainable organic photovoltaic systems for diverse application scenarios. Outside of research, Maoqing also has an interest in singing and history.
