Dr. Terry Chien-Jen Yang is a researcher specializing in optoelectronic materials and devices, with expertise spanning oxide thin films, perovskite–silicon materials, and multi-junction technologies. He received his PhD in Photovoltaic Engineering from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), where his work focused on integrating functional oxide materials with silicon quantum dots for advanced PV applications. His research centers on thin-film deposition and interface engineering, including sputtered and vacuum-processed oxides, transparent conducting materials, and doped transport layers. He has extensive experience working with both silicon and perovskite platforms, with a focus on materials integration and device performance optimization. His work also explores emerging strategies for integrating optical and electronic materials in next-generation semiconductor and optoelectronic devices. Dr. Yang has held research positions at leading international institutions (Cambridge, CSIRO, EPFL, and UNSW), contributing to developments in perovskite–silicon tandem devices, oxide-based optoelectronics, and advanced semiconductor processing. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals and is actively engaged in the broader research community. He recently joined the Prof. Aaron Thean Research Group at NUS as a Research Fellow, where his current work focuses on oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs), while remaining broadly engaged in optoelectronics and exploring new directions in areas such as photonics and advanced semiconductor materials.
