Welcome to the Bao Group

Our Focus

The primary interests of our research group lie in syntheses and surface modifications of nanoparticles, assembly of nanostructures at surface and in composite materials with controlled physical, chemical, and biological properties, characterization of nanostructures with various microscopes and spectroscopes, and explorations of their potential applications in ultra-sensitive sensors, highly efficient separation technique, and energy related devices.

Students in our group will gain expertise in synthesis and assembly of nanomaterials and instruments for characterization.  In addition, they will also learn to better critical thinking and develop advanced problem-solving skills.

If you are an undergraduate or graduate student interested in joining the group, please contact us!
