PhD Candidate

E-mail: Z.Chen1@tue.nl

Zehua Chen received his Master’s degree in 2018 from Nankai University in China, with a thesis on the modelling of amorphous silica by using density-functional theory (DFT) and classical molecular dynamics (CMD).

Zehua joined our group in September 2018 and supported by TU/e-DIFFER Storing Solar Energy program, his research focuses on the multiscale computational modelling of perovskite solar cells: from material properties to device performance.

Zehua is now a postdoctoral research at beijing Computational Science Research Center. His full list of publication can be found at google scholar.
