Prof. Hoye is a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair. He obtained his PhD at the University of Cambridge, followed by a postdoc at MIT, and research fellowships at Cambridge. He was a Lecturer at Imperial College London from 2020, before moving to Oxford as Associate Professor in 2022. He was promoted to full Professor in 2026. Robert was awarded the 2026 EU-40 Prize from the E-MRS, and has delivered >130 invited talks, alongside invited articles for Nature Reviews Chemistry, Nature Sustainability and others.

Dr. Dong is a postdoc working on novel solar absorber materials, and their applications in tandem photovoltaics. She has led our collaborations with industry partners. Shiling completed her DPhil in Oxford Materials before joining our group.

Dr. Guo is working on the applications of indoor photovoltaics for edge computing, which is part of the Innovation Knowledge Centre on neurmorphic computing hardware (Neuroware). She completed her DPhil in our group, working on pnictogen-based light harvesters for indoor photovoltaics.

Dr. Kim is working on developing spin-LEDs from the CISS effect with metal-halide perovskites, as well as BiOI X-ray detectors. For her spin-LED project, she is jointly supervised by Prof. Matt Fuchter, who is in our same Department. Jihyun obtained her PhD in South Korea, and joined our group initially funded through a fellowship.

Dr. Reddy Dudipala developed a novel BiOI X-ray detector for non-invasive diagnostics during her DPhil within the group. She has returned through an EPSRC Impact Acceleration Account project to work on progressing this new technology towards commercialisation.

Minette is a DPhil student working on developing chalcogenide thin films for indoor photovoltaics. She completed her Masters at National Taiwan University.

Reece is a DPhil student working jointly between the Hoye group and Steier group, and his DPhil studentship is aligned with the Air2Fuel Programme Grant on gas-phase photocatalysis. He completed his MChem in Oxford, and worked with the Hoye Group for his Part II project

Georgia is a DPhil student part of the IMAT CDT, and is jointly working between the Hoye Group and Clarke Group. Her focus is on developing inorganic materials for X-ray detection and photovoltaics, spanning from synthesis to structural understanding. She completed her MChem in Oxford Chemistry.

Ashish is a DPhil student working within the Hoye group on developing metal-halide perovskite nanocrystals for single photon emission. His focus is on the surface chemistry, as well as the applications in photonics. Ashish completed his Masters at National Taiwan University.

Mengyuan is a DPhil student in the Hoye group working on developing thin film materials for tandem photovoltaics. She obtained her Masters in Chemistry at Imperial College London.

Joe is a DPhil student part of the IMAT CDT, and is jointly supervised by Prof. Matt Fuchter. His project focuses on polarised light emission via chiral halide perovskites. He completed his master’s degree at Yonsei University, South Korea.
