Achille Tehinke Malo's journey from late school enrollment to nanomaterials doctor

Despite initial skepticism, he excelled, earning his Primary School Certificate CEP in 2002 as the top student in Tuy province. He pursued technical education, obtaining a CAP in 2006 and a baccalaureate F3 in 2009. Malo continued his studies at Joseph Ki-Zerbo University in Ouagadougou, earning a bachelor's degree in 2012 and a master's in renewable energy in 2016, specializing in photovoltaics and solar thermal.

In 2017, he received a scholarship from the Taiwanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, spending a year learning Chinese. The following year, he secured a Chinese government scholarship through the China Scholarship Council CSC, leading him to pursue a doctorate in nanometerials science and engineering at Soochow University. After completing his doctorate, he conducted postdoctoral research at Southern University of Science and Technology SUSTech in Shenzhen and continues his work at the Chinese University of Hong Kong CUHK.

His research focuses on quantum dots, nanocrystals, next-generation display devices QLED, and laser technologies for integrated photonics. His work has been published in journals like Advanced Optical Materials and Advanced Functional Materials, and he holds a Chinese patent for quantum dot synthesis. Malo, who possesses a Chinese permanent residency card, actively promotes know
