ERX编委访谈|孟加拉国拉吉沙希大学Jaker Hossain教授

访谈详情

My choice to work in this field is driven by a fascination with the intersection of energy, materials science, and photonic technologies. I focus on semiconductor physics and high-efficiency energy conversion technologies, including solar cells and thermophotovoltaics (TPV). My research involves exploring various photovoltaic device architectures to reach the Shockley–Queisser limit and utilizing machine learning for performance prediction and optimization. I specialize in thin-film deposition techniques such as spin coating, PECVD, and PVD.

Recently, I have expanded my research into integrated photonics, specifically waveguides, ring resonators, photonic crystals as well as metamaterials for next-generation 6G communication technologies. My multidisciplinary approach aims to advance energy conversion, photonic integration, and machine learning in photovoltaic design, contributing to impactful real-world solutions. I am drawn to photonics for its innovative potential and significant societal impact in areas like telecommunications and medical devices.

2. 您目前从事的研究工作有哪些？

I am currently doing the simulation work on the phonics sector like ring resonator, photonic crystal, rectangular and bending waveguide, DFT calculation, thermophotovoltaic, solar cell and photodetector with and without tandem cell. Also, I am working on the machine learning as well as metamaterials. Again, different kinds of synthesis work of different compounds have done by me using spin coating, PECVD, and PVD.

3. 您认为五年后该领域的研究重点将会是什么？

Based on current trends and advancements in the field of photonics, it is likely that the research focus in the next five years will include several key areas. These may encompass the development of integrated photonic circuits for faster and more efficient data processing and communication, advancements in quantum photonics for quantum computing and secure communication, and the exploration of novel materials such as two-dimensional materials and metamaterials to enhance photonic device performance. Additionally, there may be increased emphasis on applications in biomedical imaging, sensing, and energy harvesting, leveraging the unique properties of photonic technologies. Overall, the field is expected to continue evolving towards more miniaturized, efficient, and versatile photonic systems with broad interdisciplinary applications.

In photovoltaics, the focus will shift towards tandem architectures that exceed conventional efficiency limits while ensuring long-term stability and addressing environmental concerns. Emerging technologies, such as transparent and flexible solar cells and solution-processed thermos-photovoltaics (TPVs), will also gain traction, enabling new applications.

Machine learning will play a crucial role, evolving from device optimization to include automated material discovery, predictive defect analysis, and real-time performance diagnostics. The integration of AI-driven design with experimental workflows is expected to significantly accelerate innovation cycles for thin-film and photonic systems.

First-principles simulations using Density Functional Theory (DFT) will become more sophisticated, incorporating complex variables like defects, interfaces, and temperature effects. This advancement will lead to more accurate predictions of band gaps, optical properties, and carrier dynamics in next-generation materials.
