Dr. Yuheng Li has now moved as an Asst. Professor in the Department of at the Sustainable Energy and Environment Thrust at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

Since 2023, I am an independent Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Fellow.

In 2015, I received my Bachelor of Engineering in Materials Science and Engineering from Zhejiang University, China. In 2020, I completed my Ph.D. in NanoEngineering from University of California San Diego based on my work on hybrid halide perovskites and perovskite derivatives for solar cells and light-emitting diodes. My research interests focus on design and understanding of advanced energy materials using first-principles calculations and data-driven approaches. Besides scientific research, I love Bach and horology.
