Biography
Yasser Hassan has his expertise in the synthesis of semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) and their application in the state-of-the-art engineering of efficient and low-cost thin-film optoelectronic devices, solar cells and light diodes (LEDs). He is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Oxford Photovoltaics and optoelectronics Devices Group under Prof. Henry Snaith, University of Oxford. Prior to his current position, he completed his PhD of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry in 2016 from the University of Toronto. Currently, his core contribution focuses on the creation of highly efficient white LEDs with high brightness combined with operational durability. He examines a wide range of different highly emissive and stable perovskite NCs (2D and 3D) emitters, with controlled size and surface structure, which have the desirable emission band gap to cover the whole panchromatic absorption profile with the focus on their optoelectronic applications.
