Postdoctoral fellow
Nan received her PhD from the Institute of Flexible Electronics at Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) in 2024 under the supervision of Prof. Wei Huang. Her PhD research mainly focused on frontier soft luminescent materials and devices, including ultralong organic room-temperature phosphorescence materials and stretchable afterglow displays, X-ray organic scintillators and imaging. Nan joined the Park Group at NUS as a Research Fellow in Nov. 2024 and will continue her research on developing organic/inorganic semiconductors and applying them in a range of device applications such as photovoltaics and light-emitting devices.
Dr. Jia-Tong Li
Jia-Tong received his undergraduate and PhD degrees in Materials Science and Engineering from Peking University in 2019 and 2024, respectively, under the supervision of Prof. Ting Lei. His doctoral research focused on charge transport mechanisms in doped organic semiconductors, with a particular emphasis on thermoelectric materials and high-spin polymers. In March 2025, Jia-Tong joined the group at NUS as a Research Fellow, where he is currently developing organic photodetector materials and investigating the fundamental mechanisms of organic optoelectronic devices.
Graduate student
Seongbeom Lee
Seongbeom received his Master’s degree in Physics from Pukyong National University (PKNU) in 2023 under the supervision of Prof. Sung Heum Park. His Master’s research focused on the development of perovskite materials and devices, with an emphasis on high-efficiency and high-stability solar cells and LEDs. After completing his Master’s degree, he worked as a post-master researcher at the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where he conducted research on high-throughput material exploration using robotic platforms. He joined the Park group in December 2024 and began PhD program at NUS in January 2025.

Yoomi Ahn
Yoomi completed her Master’s degree in Physics at Pukyong National University (PKNU) in 2024 under the guidance of Prof. Sung Heum Park. Her research focused on interfacial engineering, developing strategies to optimize energy levels, minimize defects, and improve thin-film quality of halide perovskite material devices. During her studies, she was a visiting researcher at the A*STAR IMRE in Singapore, where she worked with Dr. Yang Le on functional layers and interfacial modifications in organic optoelectronic devices. In January 2025, Yoomi returned to Singapore to start her PhD program at NUS and joined the Park research group.
Visiting scholar
Shibo Lyu
Shibo began his doctoral studies at Shandong University in 2021 under the supervision of Prof. Fengling Song and Prof. Dapeng Liu. His research focuses on the precise construction and functional regulation of metal-organic supramolecules. In November 2024, during his Ph.D. program, he joined Park group at NUS as a visiting student. He will study the surface modification of organic and hybrid semiconductor materials by tuning metal-organic supramolecules and applying them to optoelectronic applications.
