林 彥 宏
Prof. Yen-Hung Lin joined the ECE Department in the summer of 2022 and previously held research positions at Oxford University and Imperial College London. Before moving to the UK in 2010, he had also worked as a senior R&D engineer in AU Optronics, Taiwan. Prof. Lin is a Materials Research Society (MRS) Graduate Student Gold Awardee and a recipient of the Solid-State Physics Prize from Imperial College. He is a long-term academic visitor at Oxford Physics and serves on the editorial board of American Physical Society (APS) PRX Energy.
Prof. Lin aims to pioneer effective yet efficient engineering approaches for intelligent yet sustainable electronic and optoelectronic devices and systems. He has so far contributed to more than 60 peer-reviewed articles published in internationally renowned journals, including Science, Nature Electronics, Nature Materials, Nature Energy, Nature Communications, Joule, Advanced Materials, Energy and Environmental Science, and JACS.
Prof. Lin currently focuses on exploiting material intelligibility to pinpoint technological bottlenecks whilst generating microscopic insight at the molecular and quantum levels, offering technologically and economically sound solutions. At present, his group has three primary research directions:
- Exploiting novel crystalline and disordered materials for large-scale applications in electromagnetic energy harvesting and optoelectronic neuromorphics.
- Establishing active machine-learning paradigms for sub-crystalline defecting-site behavioural models in new semiconducting materials.
- Exploring architectural hybridisation of solid-state and ionic devices for neuromorphic-guided biochemical sensing.
Prof. Lin's group constantly has openings for researchers at all levels, including PhD and master's studentships, undergraduate internships, and postdoctoral fellowships. He also welcomes scholars for academic visiting. More information is available on his website. For any requests, please send him an email.
