2. Postdoctoral Researcher, Department of chemistry, National Central University, Taiwan (2017/8~2018/7)

3. Postdoctoral Researcher, Department of chemistry, National Chung Hsing University, Taiwan (2013/9~2017/7)

1. Synthesis of organic materials for solar cell applications.

2. Synthesis of porphyrins.

3. Polymer chemistry.

        Our research interests focus on the design and study of photoactive organic molecules that can be used as materials for new generation of solar cells such as dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC), organic photovoltaics (OPV), and perovskite solar cells (PSC). We are also interested in the synthesis and studies of conjugate salts for application in PSC.

1. The synthesis of new hole transporting materials (HTM).

2. The synthesis of functionalized organic molecules for solar cells.

3. The synthesis of conjugated polymeric materials for organic photovoltaics.

4. The synthesis of conjugated salts for perovskite solar cells.
