Biography
Shu K SO obtained his bachelor degree from Hamilton College and PhD in Physics from Cornell University in 1991. He was a postdoctoral fellow in the Chemistry Department of the University of Toronto. Then he joined the Department of Physics, Hong Kong Baptist University where is now a Professor of Physics. His major research interest is in the physics and the chemistry of thin film materials, including charge transport, heat transfer, and defect study of organic and perovskite thin films, fabrication of organic solar cells and thin film transistors, surface and optical spectroscopies of materials.
