Gao's Research Group at UCONN

Our research concentrates on the synthesis, characterization and applications of low dimensional nanomaterials. Our research objective is to improve and better bridge the gap between the nanoscience exploration and nanotechnology innovation. Specifically, we are looking for a better understanding on the physical, chemical and biological phenomena involved in nanoscale materials systems such as semiconductor nanorods and nanowires. In the meantime, we are exploring novel nanomaterials design and synthesis, and specifically suited nanotechnology innovations in conjunction with biotechnology and energy related applications, such as nanoscale biosensors, bioactuators and biogenerators.
