Dr. Fan is currently an associate professor at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). He received PhD from National University of Singapore in 2003, followed by postdoc at Max-Planck-Institute of Microstructure Physics, Germany and University of Cambridge. He joined in NTU as faculty since 2008. Dr. Fan’s expertise include semiconductor nanowires, energy conversion and storage applications of nanomaterials (including photoelectrochemical cells for solar water splitting, batteries and supercapacitors). He is also interested in solar cells and general photonics of semiconducting low-D materials. He is particularly reputed for his work in atomic layer deposition (ALD) for energy research. Dr. Fan has published more than 140 journal papers, with an H-index of 45. He is an editorial board member of Nanotechnology and Scientific Reports, advisory board member of Advanced Science, Advanced Materials Interface, and Associate Editor of Materials Research Bulletin.
