In January 2022, Junxin Wang became part of the team as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie International Fellow and is presently serving as an EPSRC IAA Knowledge Mobilization Fellow. Prior to this, he held the position of Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oxford from 2020 to 2021. During this time, he concentrated on the synthesis and optical characterization of 2-dimensional layered double hydroxide nanoplatelets under the guidance of Professor Dermot O’Hare. Wang earned his PhD in 2019 from the Department of Engineering Sciences at Uppsala University, supervised by Professor Gunnar Niklasson, where his research was focused on the optical properties of nanoparticle composites and electrochromic thin films. He completed his MPhil, studying light upconverting and plasmonic materials under Professor Jianfang Wang at the Physics Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Outside of his academic pursuits, Wang is passionate about photography, travel, singing, and swimming.
Current Research
Junxin is dedicated to advancing the efficiency of luminescent solar concentrators for building-integrated photovoltaics and electrochromic thin films through the development of innovative materials and structures. His work involves conducting detailed optical simulations and experiments to thoroughly assess the performance of these devices.
