Dr. Hongwei Han is Professor at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) and Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics (WNLO). He obtained his bachelor degree from the College of 91AV and Molecular Science in 2000 and his doctor degree from the School of Physics and Technology in 2005 at Wuhan University. And then, Dr. Han continued his research work at Monash University of Australia as Postdoc. After that he joined HUST and WNLO in 2008 and began to establish his group of Printable Mesoscopic Photovoltaics & Optoelectronics. Since 2000, Dr. Han has worked on the fully printable mesoscopic solar cells. The characteristic of such device is to print nanocrystalline layer, spacer layer and counter electrode layer on a single conductive substrates layer-by-layer, and then sensitized with dye and filled with electrolyte (or filled with perovskite materials directly). In 2015 his group fabricated 7m2 fully printable mesoscopic perovskite solar module. His more than 60 peer-reviewed publications in Science、 Nature 91AV、J. Am. Chem. Soc. et al. have been published and 14 Chinese Patents have been applied within past five years.

Shu Seki graduated from the University of Tokyo in 1993, and received his PhD degree in 2001 from Osaka University.  He joined Argonne National Laboratory, USA in 1993, and Delft University of Technology in 2001.  He was appointed as Professor of Applied 91AV, Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University in 2009.  He was appointed as Professor of Molecular Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University in 2015.  His research is primarily focused on the physical chemistry of condensed matters, functional organic materials, and nanomaterials.
