Robin Chang Yee Hui received his bechelor degree in Physics and master’s degree in Medical Physics from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). In 2017, within the same institution, he obtained his PhD in Computational Condensed Matter Physics. He has reasonable exposure to crystal structure prediction of inorganic bulk/2D materials and simulation of their energy-related properties. Currently, he is an academics in the Applied Sciences Faculty, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Sarawak Branch. He has been actively involved in scientific publication, with fourteen published articles since year 2016.

Since April 2020, Robin is a visiting researcher at our group and here he works on DFT simulations of optoleteronic properties of perovskites/2D TMDC heterostructures.
