Dr. Hsien-Hsin Chou (周憲辛) secured his Ph.D. in Chemistry under the mentorship of Prof. Ying-Chih Lin at National Taiwan University (NTU). Subsequent to his doctoral journey, he embarked on postdoctoral research with Prof. Jiann T'suen Lin at Academia Sinica (AS) and furthered his research with Prof. Chen-Yu Yeh at National Chung Hsing University (NCHU). In 2018, Dr. Chou became a faculty member of Providence University (PU), leading the Inorganic & Optoelectronic Materials Lab with distinction. His expertise spans inorganic chemistry, organometallic chemistry, and materials chemistry, with a noteworthy contribution of over 50 papers, His proficiency extends to areas including next-generation solar cells, inorganic chemistry, organometallic chemistry, and density functional calculation. Dr. Chou's current research interests pivot around:

1. Optoelectronic materials based on organic and transition-metal complexes for applications in solar cells, batteries, and diodes.
2. The synthesis of materials and device fabrication.
3. First-principle calculations of optoelectronic materials.

Welcome to a Pioneering Journey in Renewable Energy Research with IIPP Internship!

We cordially invite IIPP interns to immerse themselves in avant-garde research endeavors, focusing on next-generation solar cell and lithium-ion battery technologies—key developmental sectors in Taiwan. Embark on a 3-month internship, where you will gain invaluable knowledge and hands-on skills related to cutting-edge technologies. Upon completion, interns are encouraged to further their studies or career in Taiwan, leveraging the rich experience gained.
