Biography:
Quoc Duy Ho is a computational materials physicist and tenured researcher at the University of Stavanger, Norway. His research investigates point defects in semiconductors and the adsorption properties of porous materials for energy applications using first-principles simulations. He earned his Ph.D. (magna cum laude) from the University of Bremen, Germany (2019), where his doctoral work focused on defect physics in wide-bandgap semiconductors, combining hybrid functional theory with experimental EPR studies. His current work includes defect engineering for solar cell materials and the computational design of porous structures for CO₂ capture and utilization.
