Biography

Linfeng holds a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship (Leverhulme Trust and Issac Newton Trust) and held a Postdoc. Mobility Fellowship (Swiss National Science Foundation) within the Optoelectronic Materials and Device Spectroscopy Group at the University of Cambridge. He completed his PhD at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland), where he conducted research on solar fuels using oxides under the mentorship of Prof Anders Hagfeldt and Prof Michael Grätzel. His current research efforts are centred on understanding anisotropic carrier transport dynamics and the formation of defects in semiconductors, particularly focusing on oxides.
