Due to their remarkable ability to absorb and emit light, and because they are cheaper and can be configured to convert more of the solar spectrum into energy than silicon, perovskites have long been

Very sad to see Dr. Youngkwang Jung finish his postdoc at @StranksLab @cebcambridge but equally excited for his next chapter of DFT calculations on perovskite materials at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) in S. Korea!
