Letian Dou Group

Our former postdoc Dr. Chenjian Lin joins The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) as an assistant professor in Advanced Materials Thrust. Thank you for your creative work on “BD” phase 2D perovskites at Purdue and Emory. Good luck with your future endeavors!

The group warmly welcomes a new postdoc Dr. Lijun Chen joining us. Lijun received his PhD in Photophysics and Optoelectronics from University of Groningen with Prof. Maria Loi. He will work on perovskite heterostructures and devices. Welcome to the group. Look forward to working together!

Shuchen’s paper entitled “Mosaic lateral heterostructures in two-dimensional perovskite” has been published in Nature. Congratulations!

Chenjian,Yuanhao, and Zhichen (Savoie group)’s paper entitled “Intralayer bidentate diammoniums for stable two-dimensional perovskites” has been published in Nature Chemistry. Congratulations!

Jeonghui, Jeffrey (Shalaev group), and Wenhao’s paper entitled “Hydrogen-Bonded Organic Framework Enables Phase-Pure Layered Tin Perovskite Nanowires for Room-Temperature Lasing” has been published in JACS. Congratulations!

Wenzhan and Wenhao’s paper entitled “Ionic liquids improve the long-term stability of perovskite solar cells” has been published in Nature Energy. This work has been highlighted by Tech Xplore, Nature Briefing, Scienmag, numerous X and Bluesky posts, and many others. Congratulations!

The group warmly welcomes a new postdoc Dr. Gookyeong Jeong joining us. Gookyeong received his PhD in Chemical Engineering from University of Minnesota with Prof. Dan Frisbie. He will work on ionic liquid and OSiP materials. Welcome to the group. Look forward to working together!

Jeonghui receives Bilsland Fellowship from Purdue College of Engineering. Congratulations!

Wenbin Hao, Junkai Zhao, and Chengkan Yu join our group as first-year graduate students.

Wenbin receives her BS from Shandong Normal University and University of Waterloo. Junkai receives his BS from College of William & Mary. They will work on recyclable polymers and polymer chemistry. Chengkan receives his BS from Sichuan University. He will be coadvised with Prof. Lili Wang and work on perovskite devices and spectroscopy.

Welcome to the group and look forward to working together!

Yuanhao presented a talk in the AIChE conference in Division 8E (Electronic and Photonic Materials) in Boston and received the prestigious AIChE Graduate Student Award. Big Congratulations!

Undergrad student Emmy Huang presented a poster in the AIChE conference in Boston (Materials Science Division’s undergraduate poster session). Emmy received 2nd prize in the poster award competition, among over 100 posters. Big Congratulations!

The group warmly welcomes a new visiting PhD student Ming-Hsuan Yu joining us. Ming-Hsuan is currently a PhD student at National Taiwan University with Prof. Chu-Chen Chueh. Ming-Hsuan will spend a year with us working on perovskite solar cells. Welcome to the group and look forward to working together!
