Letian Dou Group

Akriti is selected to receive the Arvind Varma Fellowship in recognition of her great contribution in fundamental study of anion interdiffusion in perovskite heterostructures and her leadership in teaching and mentoring. Only 1 recipient each year from the school, in memorial of Prof. Arvind Varma, a giant in chemical engineering. Congratulations!

Ajeet Singh from IIT Delhi Department of Chemistry (with Prof. Sameer Sapra) is selected for the India’s Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) Overseas Visiting Doctoral Fellowship (OVDF) and will stay with us from May 2021 to May 2022. Congratulations and look forward to working together!

Akriti is selected for the Women in Chemical Engineering (WIC) Travel Award by AIChE. She will attend the AIChE 2020 conference and give a talk in Area 8E Electronic and Photonic Materials this fall. Congratulations!

Dr. Dou was interviewed with Inside Indiana Business talking about perovskite stability and perovskite technology for solar industry. Read the story here.

Our joint publication with Prof. Libai Huang group in The Journal of Chemical Physics has been selected as the 2020 Editor’s Choice article. Thanks for the great recognition. Congratulations to the team! Read the paper here.

New around of the prestigious Lillian Gilbreth Postdoc Fellowship has been announced! If you are interested in joining us and working in a multidisciplinary research environment, please apply at: https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/Research/GilbrethFellowships

We are excited to have a new postdoc fellow Dr. Shuchen Zhang to join the group. Shuchen got his PhD from Peking University in Physical Chemistry. Before joining Purdue, he spent one year as a postdoc fellow with Prof. Gabor Somorjai at UC Berkeley. Welcome to the group and look forward to working together! 

We are hosting a special issue in Frontiers in Energy Research with Prof. Aditya Mohite @ Rice Univ and Prof. Qi Chen @ Beijing Institute of Technology on “Two-Dimensional Halide Perovskite Nanomaterials for Solar Energy Conversion“. Welcome submissions to this special issue!

Dr. Enzheng Shi will join Westlake University in Hangzhou, China, as an assistant professor in School of Engineering this winter. Thank you for your great work in the past three years. Big congratulations and good luck with your future endeavor!

Our review paper on 2D hybrid perovskites incorporating semiconducting organic building blacks has been published in Materials Chemistry Frontiers. This is for a special issue Celebrating Prof. Fred Wudl’s 80th Birthday. Congratulations!
