Prof. Lung-Chien Chen received his Ph. D degree in the electrical engineering from the National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 1999. He has a professional career in industrial institution: Manager and Vice Assistance President in Formosa Epitaxy Photonic Incorporation (1999–2002). In 2002, he joined National Taipei University of Technology (Taipei Tech), Taiwan, as a faculty member of Department of Electro-Optical Engineering. In 2017-2023, he was the chairman of Department of Electro-Optical Engineering. Currently, he is a Distinguished Professor of Taipei Tech and his main research interests include compound semiconductor growth (GaSb, AlInGaP, III-nitrides, zinc oxide, and perovskites), material analysis, and device fabrication technology, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), photodetectors, and solar cells. He has authored or co-authored more than 180 journal papers and 5 books or book chapters. He is the holder of more than 21 patents in his fields of expertise. Prof. Chen is the Optica (former of Optical Society of American (OSA)) Senior member and the IEEE Senior member. He was elected as the fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) in 2019. In 2021 - 2023, Prof. Chen is on the Elsevier global top 2% of scientists list. In 2022, he was selected as the Director at Large of Taiwan Photonics Society (TPS). In 2023, he was selected as the fellow of IET (UK) and IAAM (Sweden).
Our laboratory is dedicated to advancing the field of Perovskite Semiconductor Materials and Optoelectronic Device Applications. Under my guidance, our diverse and dynamic team includes one postdoctoral fellow and over 15 students spanning bachelor's, master's, and PhD levels, including international scholars. Our research focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and application of perovskite materials in high-efficiency solar cells and innovative light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
We leverage the unique properties of perovskites, such as their excellent light absorption, charge-carrier mobility, and tunable bandgaps, to develop next-generation optoelectronic devices. Our work aims to push the boundaries of power conversion efficiency in perovskite solar cells and enhance the performance and stability of perovskite LEDs. The laboratory is well-equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for material synthesis, device fabrication, and comprehensive characterization.
By fostering a collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment, we strive to address key challenges in the scalability and environmental impact of perovskite-based technologies. Securing research funds will allow us to further explore innovative solutions, develop practical applications, and contribute significantly to the fields of renewable energy and advanced optoelectronics.
