Biography
Dr. Huo obtained his BS degree in Chemistry, Jilin University in 1999. He then continued his master research there, supervised by by Prof. Xi Zhang. In 2003, he joined Prof. Chad A. Mirkin’s group for his PhD study in chemistry at Northwestern University and obtained PhD degree in 2009. After that, he moved to NTU as an assistant professor at the School of Materials Science and Engineering in the beginning of 2010.
Research Interests
The current research in Dr. Huo’s group involves nanolithography and biomaterials. One goal of our team is to explore the application of high throughput nanolithography approaches (polymer pen lithography, beam pen lithography, etc), such as fabrication of nano devices, biochips, optical materials, metamaterials, etc. The other field of this group is to design and develop bionanomaterials for next-generation of biosensing devices, drug delivery study and therapeutics research.
