| Abstract | I accepted a self-placed IREE award to research at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) under the supervision of Prof Xudong Xiao. At CUHK, I developed a finite-element model of a thin-film solar cell and used that model to optimize the design of a metal grid to collect the current and minimize resistive loss. The work was not particularly exciting, but I will present it at a Materials Research Society conference in December. In my spare time, I explored Hong Kong with my labmates, other IREE awardees, and international summer school students at CUHK. This experience helped me understand the research culture of Hong Kong as well as China because most of my labmates came from mainland China, and I hope to leverage these experiences into building international research partnerships in the future. |
