Shuze Ma obtained his bachelor’s degree in Polymer Materials and Engineering from Northwestern Polytechnical University, China, where his undergraduate project investigated the ultrasonic preparation and performance of liquid metal-based stretchable conductive composites. He then completed a Master’s degree in Nanomaterials at Imperial College London, with a on solution-processed copper indium disulfide thin films for solar cell applications.
His DPhil research focuses on characterising and modelling the evolution of optoelectronic properties in individual layers of tandem solar cells with temperature and time, aiming to enable reliable performance prediction and device optimisation under real operating conditions. Beyond his academic work, Shuze enjoys singing, playing badminton, travelling, and board games.
