Background
Professor Kian Ping Loh has worked in the National University of Singapore
for more than ten years and leads the effort in functional carbon materials
research. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Physical and Theoretical Chemistry
Laboratory in Oxford in 1997 and continued his postdoctoral work in National
Institute for Materials in Japan between 1997-98.
He has an established track record on functional carbon materials research,
focusing on solar cell and optical applications of diamond and graphene. The
expertise of his group ranges from optical studies of advanced functional carbon
materials, design and synthesis of organic dyes, molecular electronics to solar
cells and surface science. The expertise in his group now includes the large
area fabrication of graphene films by chemical vapor deposition, synthesis of
solution-processed and printable graphene electronics, synthesis of organic
dye-derivatized graphene, graphene-titania composites, with a view towards applications
in solar cells.
Breakthroughs in his research include the fabrication of organic solar cell
on transparent and conducting, large area graphene electrodes, and the first
demonstration of wide band mode locking on atomic layer graphene. He has won
the University Young Researcher Award in 2008 and the Outstanding Chemist Award
in 2009.
