Rate My Professor Shujuan Huang

Shujuan Huang is Professor in the School of Engineering at Macquarie University. She received her BE and ME degrees in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University, China, and her PhD in Materials Engineering from Hiroshima University, Japan. From 2001 to 2004, she served as a Research Fellow in the Graduate School of Advanced Science of Matter at Hiroshima University. In 2006, she joined the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at the University of New South Wales. She now leads research in the School of Engineering and Smart Green Cities Research Centre at Macquarie University.

Professor Huang's research focuses on nanomaterials and nanotechnologies for advanced optoelectronic devices, with expertise in solution-based fabrication and characterization of thin-film solar cells. Her specializations include perovskite solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, tandem photovoltaic devices such as perovskite/silicon tandems, indoor photovoltaics, and building-integrated photovoltaics exemplified by luminescent solar concentrator windows, as well as LEDs and photodetectors. She has supervised 50 PhD students, achieving 44 completions. Her work has attracted substantial funding, including multiple Australian Research Council Discovery and Linkage grants, Australian Renewable Energy Agency projects on durable silicon-perovskite tandems and industrially viable manufacturing for next-generation solar cells, and initiatives like GreenWave for accelerated perovskite production using machine learning and eco-solvents. Key publications encompass 'Mixed 3D–2D passivation treatment for mixed-cation lead mixed-halide perovskite solar cells with efficiency exceeding 21%' (2018, cited over 370 times), 'Elucidating mechanisms behind ambient storage-induced efficiency improvements in perovskite solar cells' (2021, cited over 85 times), 'Rapid microwave annealing of perovskite films: exploring the mechanism of heat generation and influence on growth kinetics' (2026), and 'Liquid-mediated sintering of SnO2 scaffolds for hybrid integration of conductive Cu3(HHTP)2' (2026). With over 18,000 citations and an h-index of 74 according to Google Scholar, her contributions have significantly advanced sustainable energy technologies. In 2025, she contributed to the Fission Chips team, winners of the Eureka Prize for Innovative Use of Technology.
