Xiaojing Hao is an academic and engineer. She completed her PhD in Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering in 2010 at University of New South Wales. She is currently working as a professor in school of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at University of New South Wales.[1] Her main research focus is in low-cost, high-efficiency thin film solar cells and tandem solar cells. Her research contributes to make photovoltaics cells affordable, greener and more efficient.
Xiaojing’s research is focused on kesterite, an earth-abundant and non-toxic material which is used for the production of thin-film solar panels with a conversion efficiency of 11%.[2]
She was awarded the Malcolm McIntosh Prize for Physical Scientist of the Year in 2020[3] for her research contributions in thin-film solar cells. Also, she was the recipient of the 2021 Australian Academy of Science Pawsey Medal.[4]
