Profile

Yuanyuan (Alvin) Zhou joined HKUST as an Associate Professor (with Tenure) under the university's prestigious "30 for 30" global talent acquisition scheme. He obtained his B.S. & M.S. from Xi'an Jiaotong University and Ph.D. from Brown University, all in materials science and engineering. He has published over 140 journal papers, with 15,000 Google citations and 61 H-index, and edited one Wiley book Halide Perovskite Semiconductors: Structures, Characterization, Properties, and Phenomena. He has received top honors continuously throughout his academic career, including Brown University Outstanding Engineering Thesis Award, NSF EPSCoR Research Fellow, HKBU Presidential Young Researcher Award/HKBU Innovation Award, National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) Excellent Young Scientist Award, and HKUST Star Faculty. He serves as Associate Editor for the Journal of Energy Chemistry (IF=14; Elsevier) and Advisory Board Member for Device (Cell Press). Prof. Zhou's research group ΣLab innovates semiconductors and devices, as well as the way to study them.  ΣLab's pioneering works in understanding and engineering perovskite microstructural disorder have recently been published in prestigious academic journals, including Science, Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Energy, and Nature Synthesis.
