Biography

Biography

Yuanyuan (Alvin) Zhou joined HKUST as an Associate Professor (with Tenure) under the university’s prestigious “30 for 30” global talent acquisition scheme. He obtained his B.S. & M.S. from Xi’an Jiaotong University and Ph.D. from Brown University, all in materials science and engineering. He has published 150 journal papers, with 17,000 Google citations and 65 H-index, and edited one international Wiley book <Halide Perovskite Semiconductors>. 

He has received top honors continuously throughout his academic career, including Brown University Outstanding Engineering Thesis Award, NSF EPSCoR Research Fellow, HKBU Presidential Young Researcher Award/HKBU Innovation Award, National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) Excellent Young Scientist Award, Global Academy of Chinese Chemical Engineers - Future Chemical Engineering Scholar, and HKUST Star Faculty. He serves as Associate Editor for the Journal of Energy Chemistry (IF=14; Elsevier) and Advisory Board Member for Cell Press journals Device and Matter & Light

Prof. Zhou directs  ΣLab at HKUST, which specializes in Semiconductor Innovation & Materials AI (SIGMA). ΣLab's seminal contribution to emerging microstructure science in perovskite optoelectronics have frequently been published in Science and Nature family journals (Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Chemistry, Nature Energy, Nature Synthesis, Nature Reviews​​ Clean Technology, etc.)
