RESEARCH EXPERIENCE AND PUBLICATION:
Member of Dr. Cherie Kagan’s group,
(September 2008-May 2009)
Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering, University of Pennsylvania
Research focused on chemical and physical properties of PbSe nanocrystals-organic solar cells.
Used photolithography and wet etching to pattern ITO electrodes on glass.
Synthesized PbSe nanocrystals by wet-chemical methods.
Measured the I-V characteristics of PbSe nanocrystals-organic solar cells.
Designed an apparatus to measure incident photon to charge carrier efficiency (IPCE) of solar cells.
Master’s Thesis project, National Sun Yat-Sen University (June 2004)
Thesis title: Pyrolytic Study of 2-Azidocyclopentanone and 2-Azido-a-cyclohexylethanone.
Research interest: synthesized organic precursors which can generate reactive molecules by using flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) method, and determined mechanisms of these reactive molecules.
