Biography

Dr. Kevin Chung-Che Huang obtained his PhD in Optoelectronics from the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) at the University of Southampton in 2005. He initiated his work on functional chalcogenide materials containing S, Se, and Te elements fabricating using chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) as well as Van der Waals Epitaxy during his PhD studies starting in 2001. His technology has been applied to fabricate wafer-scale emerging 2D materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides. He developed a unique process for fabricating wafer-scale MoS2, published impactful work in Nanoscale, generating a significant influence in the research community. Kevin has established more than 60 active academic collaborations worldwide based on materials his team fabricates. He has written and contributed to over 80 publications, including 13 invited talks. He is a holder of a patent based on germanium sulfide materials fabricated through CVD. Currently, as a Senior Research Fellow at the ORC, he leads research in “Advanced Functional Chalcogenide 2D Materials” with a focus on CVD, ALD, and Van der Waals Epitaxy applied to photonic devices, phase-change memory, thin-film solar cells, photo-catalysis, and emerging applications in nano-electronics. His research contributions in CVD and 2D materials have secured active research grants totaling over £21 million from EPSRC U.K. andSupported the establishment of a 7-year Future Photonics Hub, working collaboratively with industry.
