About

Dr Chao was appointed as Head of Nanomaterial Innovation Lab on the basis of an established track record in investigating nanostructured systems from the basic physical and chemical mechanisms of synthesis, through their optical and electronic properties to scientific and industrial applications. Dr Chao has a wide range of experiences in synthesis of nanoscale materials, analysis of their impacts on environmental and biological systems, and sustainable applications.
Since 2001, he has published over 100 papers in leading international refereed journals including two in Nature Nanotechnology. He has given invited talks and/or keynote speeches in over 50 international conferences and chaired ten international conferences or sessions. He has obtained over two million pounds research funding from various grant-awarding resources since 2008. He is a Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC), Chair of Chemical Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Group in RSC. He is serving as a member of UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships Sift/interview Panel and EPSRC Peer Review College, and also acting as funding reviewer for various other funding bodies.
