Novel Materials

Introduction

Dr. Kun-Han Lin received his B.Sc. (2012) and M.Sc. (2015) degrees in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) from National Taiwan University. His master thesis focused on the lithiation mechanism of anode materials in lithium-ion batteries. In 2020, he received his Ph.D. in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering from EPFL, Switzerland. His Ph.D. thesis focused on the rational design of hole transport materials for perovskite solar cells. After graduating from EPFL, he worked at the theory group of Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPIP) as a postdoctoral researcher. He is currently a faculty member in the Department of Chemical Engineering (DCE) at National Tsing Hua University.

LM2D is focusing on using computational/theoretical methods to discover and design novel materials and molecules in electronic, optoelectronic, and energy applications. In particular, our multiscale computational protocols enable us to predict charge transport properties and solid-state ionization energy of organic semiconductors in good agreement with experiments. For more details, please see RESEARCH and PUBLICATIONS page.

LM2D is a new group and we invite prospective students (undergraduate/graduate) and postdocs interested in computational material and molecular design to join us. Please write an email to Prof. Kun-Han Lin.
