On November 1, Professor Pooi See Lee from Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) visited the ISSP UL. She delivered a lecture titled "Development of Flexible Electrochromic Devices." This visit and lecture were organized as part of the Smart Windows for Zero Energy Buildings (SWEB) project.
The SWEB project focuses on various innovative smart window solutions and products that aim to tap into market growth potential while addressing global environmental challenges from a European Union perspective. The project plans to develop non-toxic, sustainable, and functional materials. Its goals include advancing world-class research on functional materials in the smart window sector, enhancing teaching capacity, and promoting changes in institutional management to achieve scientific excellence and sustainability.
Professor Pooi See Lee earned her PhD from the National University of Singapore in 2002. She began her career at Nanyang Technological University as an assistant professor in 2004, became an associate professor in 2009, and has held the title of professor since 2015. She has made significant contributions to numerous publications on nanomaterials for energy and electronics applications and holds over 30 patents in the field.
The lecture focused on flexible electrochromic devices (ECDs), which alter the optical properties of materials, such as transmittance, reflection, or emission. These properties enable ECDs to be used in various applications, including "green" buildings and electrochromic displays. The advantages of ECDs include their lightweight nature and versatile shapes.
