Xinyuan Wu is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at UNSW Sydney. His research focuses on the long-term reliability of silicon solar cells and modules, with expertise in accelerated aging protocols and advanced characterization techniques. His work has advanced the understanding of degradation mechanisms in high-efficiency cell architectures—including TOPCon, SHJ, and PERC—under damp-heat and other environmental stress conditions.

Beyond reliability research, he has a strong interest in solar cell process development, particularly in atomic layer deposition (ALD). His contributions to optimizing AlOx ALD processes have supported the industrial-scale manufacturing of high-performance TOPCon solar cells.

He has authored several peer-reviewed publications and works closely with both academic and industry partners to enhance the durability and long-term performance of photovoltaic technologies.
