Zhaojun Li (Assistant Professor)
Material scientist with an interest in organic and 2-dimensional semiconducting materials for next-generation thin-film optoelectronic applications and experience in organic synthesis, 2d material exfoliation, optical spectroscopy and optoelectronic device fabrication.
I obtained my PhD from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden (2018), and later spent 3 years at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge (UK) as a postdoctoral researcher. In 2023, I joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Uppsala University, as an independent researcher and am forming my research group.
Zhe Zhang (Marie Curie Fellow)
Research interests: Defect physics in 2D magnets; magnetocaloric and barocaloric effects.
Expertise: Chemical vapor transport, 2D material exfoliation, magnetic characterization, synchrotron X-ray techniques, and neutron scattering.
I received my PhD from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2023. I then started my postdoctoral research at Uppsala University. In 2025, I joined Dr. Zhaojun Li’s group as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Individual Fellow.
Jiaxin Guo (Ph.D. Student)
Research Interests: 2D Materials, Raman Spectroscopy, Electron Microscopy, Optoelectronics, Photocatalysis, Organic Synthesis.
I obtained my bachelor’s degree from Nankai University in China in 2021 and subsequently completed a master’s degree there, focusing on the synthesis of organic active layers in organic solar cells. In September 2024, I joined Dr. Zhaojun Li’s research group as a PhD student, where I am studying the defect physics in 2D quantum materials.
