Interested personnel should send their CV directly to Prof. Shu Hu.
WELCOME TO JOIN IN HU LAB!
We are currently searching for a postdoctoral associate to utilize our lab’s semiconductor photocatalysis capability for processing biomass and methane. An ideal candidate should be experienced in semiconductor synthesis and device physics. Familiarity with techniques such as surface chemistry, Raman spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and a basic understanding of atomic layer deposition is helpful for this project. In any case, passionate candidates with relevant experiences are encouraged to contact Professor Shu Hu right away.
ABOUT US
We are an inclusive and friendly group！
The Hu lab aspires to achieve a decarbonized economy at scale by utilizing natural resources such as sunlight, water, CO2 from the air, and carbonates from the ocean locally. We focus on photoelectrochemical interfaces and coating materials for durable device demonstrations in light-induced chemical conversions.
We mainly study light-driven catalytic reactions, namely photocatalysis, by answering the fundamental questions in chemical engineering and semiconductor physics. Photocatalysis refers to coevolving reductive and oxidative reactions located in nanoscale proximity.

MEET THE SYNCHOTRON
A Tool For Studying Material Performance
Synchrotrons are a type of circular particle accelerator. The particles (e.g. electrons) are sped up to the speed of light and produce a bright light which can be used to image or characterize a material’s structure.
To get to the resolution that we want in our research, we combine imaging and characterization techniques in synchotrons to study materials as they operate.
