Research Fellow
Dr Zhenzhu Li is a Research Fellow of the NH₃-SOFC team at Imperial Global Singapore (IGS) lead by Prof. Stephen Skinner, where she works on the computational modelling and investigation of this energy system guided by Prof. Aron Walsh. Her research lies at the intersection of computational materials science and artificial intelligence, with a focus on solar energy materials. She is particularly interested in defect physics, growth conditions, recombination-limited photovoltaic performance, and the inverse design of novel energy materials through generative AI models.
Dr Li is a recipient of the 2021 Young Researcher Award from the International Conference on Advanced Materials and Devices (ICAMD) and was awarded the prestigious Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Fellowship at Imperial College London. Looking ahead, her research aims to address the urgent need for AI-driven materials discovery by elucidating defect–structure–property relationships and advancing intelligent generative frameworks for next-generation energy materials.
