Mingzhe Yu (Avery) completed her bachelor degree of natural science in materials physics at Sichuan University, China. She later attended Imperial College London where she got her master’s degree in Materials Science and Engineering with Distinction. Her project was about nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxide as active material for supercapacitors.
Her DPhil focuses on developing new processes to make silicon solar cells cheaper and more efficient by using permanent charges in dielectric thin films.
