TraVERSE
We welcome visiting students from Europe to apply for the Trans-Atlantic Visiting Engineer Research Scholarship Experience (TraVERSE) program that sponsored by College of Engineering of Purdue University!
Qualifier exam
Sheng-Ning passes his qualifier exam and now become a PhD candidate. Congratulations!
Highly Cited Researcher
Dr. Dou is recognized as a Highly Cited Researcher 2019 in Cross Field by Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics).

Each year, the Web of Science Group identifies the world’s most influential researchers. In 2019, fewer than 6,300, or 0.1%, of the world’s researchers, across 21 research fields, have earned this exclusive distinction by the production of multiple highly-cited papers that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and year in Web of Science.
New papers
Our Nature Chemistry paper regarding the synthesis of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite quantum wells is online now. Read the Nat Chem paper here.
Using this concept, we demonstrated highly stable lead-free perovskite thin film transistors with high charge carrier mobility. Read the JACS paper here.
These works are also featured in Purdue news release, Chemical Engineering news release, nature research community article, Science Daily, EurekAlert!, etc.
New members
The group welcomes a new graduate student Jee Yung Park to joint us. Jee Yung obtained his B.S. in chemical engineering from Korea University. Welcome to the group!
Student Award
Thao (undergrad researcher) receives the Purdue Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) Travel Grant and will present her research work in the 2019 AIChE meeting in Orlando. Congratulations!
Qualifier exam
Zitang (Tim) passes his qualifier exam and now become a PhD candidate. Congratulations!
New research papers
Yao’s Nature Chemistry paper and JACS paper have been accepted for publication. These two milestone papers address fundamental chemistry and device application issues of 2D organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites incorporating semiconducting organic ligands. Big congratulations to Yao, all lab members, and our excellent collaborators!
