Dr Tien Le

Tien Le completed his MSc in Materials Science and Engineering at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, before obtaining his PhD in Engineering from the Australian National University. His doctoral research focused on defect gettering mechanisms and advanced defect characterisation in high-efficiency crystalline silicon solar cells.

He subsequently joined the University of Luxembourg as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Laboratory for Photovoltaics, where he investigated wide-bandgap Cu(In,Ga)S₂ and Ag-alloyed chalcopyrite thin-film solar cells for tandem photovoltaic applications, with a particular focus on understanding defect-related recombination and improving device performance using absolute photoluminescence.

At the University of Oxford, Tien is working on the development and characterisation of advanced materials and interfaces for next-generation tandem photovoltaic devices within the Electronic and Interface Materials Laboratory. His research focuses on transparent conducting oxides, atomic layer deposition, and interface engineering for high-efficiency tandem solar cells.
