# 2025 Advanced Horticultural Films |
|
Engineered to enhance photosynthesis without external energy, this film converts green light into more effective wavelengths while also passively cooling the soil. Customisable for different crops, it boosts yields by up to 30%, lowers water and pesticide use, and removes the need for artificial lighting. Suitable for greenhouses, vertical farms, and open fields, it offers a low-cost, scalable solution for sustainable agriculture, particularly in regions where energy access is limited and climate resilience is critical
Zhijie received his Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from Beijing Institute of Technology (2016) and Master of Science in Photonic, Mechanic, and Electronic Micro/Nano Manufacturing (2019), specializing in laser micro/nano fabrication. He completed his Doctor of Philosophy in Electronic and Electrical Engineering at University College London (2025), focusing on horticulture luminescent solar concentrators. Since 2024, he has been a Research Fellow at the Photonic Innovations Laboratory, University College London, furthering his doctoral research to develop advanced luminescent solar concentrators with enhanced spectral conversion and improved outcoupling efficiency.more
