Research<\/h3>\n

As an Associate Professor and University Faculty Scholar in the Fiber and Polymer Science program, Dr. Gao\u2019s research interests lie at the interface between materials chemistry, textile engineering and renewable energy-related technologies, such as supercapacitors, batteries and fuel cells. Her current research directions include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fiber-extrusion processes from two-dimensional materials for various applications<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0Yarn-shaped energy-storage devices and textile-based triboelectric nanogenerators<\/li>\n
  3. Two-dimensional adsorbents for PFAS, orthophosphate, and heavy metals in wastewater.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
