牛泉教授是华南理工大学发光材料与器件国家重点实验室特聘教授、博士生导师，同时担任新型半导体材料与器件物理研究团队负责人。她曾荣获国家自然科学基金海外杰出青年科学基金项目资助。

牛教授长期致力于新型薄膜显示器的稳定性机理与效率损耗机理研究，研究方向聚焦于下一代显示技术的核心材料与器件领域。其具体研究内容包括量子点与有机发光二极管（OLED）中的电荷输运及复合机理，以及陷阱效应与缺陷本质的相关探索。她曾系统研究聚合物发光二极管的本征老化行为，阐明了其本征老化机制，提出器件老化过程中陷阱形成的直接检测方法，并创新性地采用 “陷阱稀释” 策略，有效缓解了器件老化问题。相关研究成果发表于《自然・材料》《物理评论快报》等国际顶级期刊，其中发表在《物理评论快报》的论文被遴选为 “编辑推荐文章”。她关于大面积、低成本有机发光二极管稳定性的研究成果（发表于《自然・材料》2018 年第 17 卷，第 557-562 页），被德国《光子学》期刊评价为溶液法制备高稳定性薄膜发光器件的奠基性成果。

牛教授已获得美国发明专利 5 项、中国发明专利 11 项；此外，她还荣获 “国家特聘专家”“国际信息显示学会（SID）显示技术未来之星青年领袖” 等多项荣誉称号。综上，牛教授在显示技术领域成果卓著，享有较高的学术声誉。

Professor Quan Niu is a distinguished professor and doctoral supervisor at the State Key Laboratory of Luminescent Materials and Devices, South China University of Technology, and the leader of the Novel Semiconductor Materials and Device Physics research group. She is an awardee of the Science Fund Program for Distinguished Young Scholars of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Overseas).

Prof. Niu is dedicated to conducting research on the stability mechanisms and efficiency loss mechanisms of novel thin-film displays, focusing on key materials and devices for the next generation of display technologies.   The specific focus of her research includes charge transport and recombination mechanisms in quantum dots and organic light-emitting diodes (LEDs), as well as the study of trap effects and the nature of defects. She has studied the intrinsic aging behavior of polymer LEDs, clarified the intrinsic aging mechanisms, proposed methodologies for direct detection of trap formation during device aging, and applied a ‘trap dilution’ strategy to effectively mitigate the aging of devices. The related works have been published in prestigious journals such as Nature Materials and Physical Review Letters, and the article in Physical Review Letters was selected as an ‘Editor's Suggestion’. Her research on the stability of large-area, low-cost organic light-emitting diodes (Nature Materials 2018, 17, 557-562) was reviewed by ‘Photonik’ as the foundational work for high-stability solution-processed thin-film light-emitting.

Prof. Niu has been awarded 5 patents in the United States and 11 patents in China. Additionally, She has also been honored with titles such as National Distinguished Expert and the SID Future Star of Display Technology Young Leader. Overall, Prof. Niu has not only outstanding achievements but also a certain reputation in the field of display technology.
