Gao Research Group
Our passion lies at the interfaces between chemistry, nanotechnologies and textile engineering. We focus on two-dimensional materials' research and their integration with textile systems for smart fabric applications, such as wearable energy storage and conversion technologies and body-armor fabrics.
