JSPS Postdoctoral fellow | Nov. 2017- Nov. 2019
Department of Applied Science for Electronics and Materials
Kyushu University, Japan
The Japan Society for the promotion of Science (JSPS) fellowship standard is one of the top-ranked fellowships, that allow qualified researchers to conduct collaborative research under the guidance of their host Japanese professors in universities and research institutions in Japan for up to 24 Months. The acceptance rate of the JSPS fellowship is about 10%.
Activities:
Research on the project: “Development of nanocarbon thin films for all-carbon photovoltaics”
Research on carbon-based nanomaterials for use as corrosion protection layers in photovoltaic integrated water-splitting devices.
Visiting Scientist | Nov. 2018-Mar. 2019
Department of Material Science and Engineering,
North Carolina State University, Raleigh, USA
>> For about four months, I joined Prof. Jay Narayan's research group at NCSU. I worked on the project: “New phase of carbon, named Q-carbon”. In this project, amorphous carbon (a-C) films were annealed by nanosecond pulsed laser (ArF) which converted to Q-carbon and diamond under super undercooling conditions.
In addition, I trained in the laser safety operation and usage of analysis facilities at the AIF Center.
As a result of this visit, we could publish two papers in collaboration work:
