Personal profile
Biography
The Duong completed his BS degree in Electrical Engineering in Oregon, United States, with the highest distinction. During his PhD at the Australian National University, he achieved the highest efficiency of 26.4% for perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells, which was highlighted in many media and news. He was awarded the Best PhD. Thesis Award from the Minister for Climate Change and Sustainability in 2017. Subsequently, The Duong has won two competitive Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics (ACAP) Postdoctoral Fellowship grants to develop high-efficiency perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells further. He has also expanded his research interest to solar to hydrogen production and semiconductor gas sensors. His work on direct solar-to-hydrogen generation was listed as one of the top 10 innovations by the Innovation for Cool Earth Forum (ICEF) in 2020. In early 2025, his team achieved a certified efficiency of 26.29% for single-junction n-i-p perovskite solar cells, which is among the highest efficiencies recorded for this type of device.
