Dr. Wenjie Lin is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering (SPREE), UNSW Sydney. His research focuses on the simulation and design of high-efficiency crystalline silicon solar cells, including silicon heterojunction (HJT), TOPCon, back-contact, and tandem architectures. His expertise lies in device-level simulation and photovoltaic engineering.
He received his Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Physics from Sun Yat-sen University in 2021. During his doctoral studies, he was a joint Ph.D. student at the EPFL PV-Lab (2019–2021), where he investigated dopant-free carrier-selective contacts and bifacial silicon heterojunction solar cells.
In 2022, he joined Zhejiang University as a Postdoctoral Researcher, working on the optoelectronic design of high-efficiency crystalline silicon solar cells. From 2021 to 2024, he worked as a Senior R&D Engineer at Aiko Solar, contributing to the development and simulation of advanced silicon solar cell technologies. In 2019, he completed an R&D internship at Trina Solar, focusing on laser-doped selective emitter technologies for TOPCon solar cells, which were successfully transferred to industrial production.
Dr. Lin has extensive experience in photovoltaic device fabrication, characterization, and numerical simulation. His research interests include next-generation silicon solar cells, outdoor performance of photovoltaic devices, and simulation-assisted optimization for solar energy systems.
He has authored more than 30 peer-reviewed journal publications and holds over 60 patents in photovoltaic technologies.
