Jan Seidel is a professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering, UNSW Sydney. He received his doctorate from TU Dresden, Germany in 2005. Prior to joining UNSW, Jan held positions at UC Berkeley, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and he was a visiting fellow at the University of Oxford. He has authored over 200 peer-reviewed papers with more than 16,000 citations and he has an h-index of 50.
His group has a focus on advanced scanning probe microscopy for the study of physical properties of novel materials, particularly transition-metal oxides, 2D materials and hybrid halide perovskites, in the forms of thin films, nanomaterials and nanoscale devices. His research targets a wide range of optoelectronic, data storage and energy related technology, including nonvolatile memories, solar cells and nanoelectronics.
Jan's group has openings for PhD students. Anyone interested should send a CV to jan.seidel@unsw.edu.au.
