Prof. Dr. Chen received his B.Sc. degree in optical science and engineering at Fudan University in 2008, and Ph.D. degree in semiconductor physics at Linköping University in 2014. From 2014 till 2016, Dr. Chen joined the Electronic Information Device group as a postdoctoral researcher led by Prof. Akihiro Murayama at Hokkaido University, Japan. After that, he returned to Functional Electronic Materials Group at Linköping University in 2016, first worked as postdoctoral researcher and afterwards was promoted to assistant professor in 2017. In 2018, Dr. Chen joined the faculty of School of Material Science and Engineering at Hunan University as full-positioned professor. So far, Prof. Chen has published 28 papers in internationally renowned journals, including, Nature Communication, Nano Letter, Physical Review B, Physical Review Applied, etc. His current research is focused on the nano-photonics, opto-electronics and opto-spintronics of novel low dimensional semiconductor materials such as TMDC, 2D perovskites and related hybrid van der Waals heterostructures.
