Research Interests
Hao's work involves theoretical, computational, and simulation-based study of polymers and polymer systems. Currently, Hao is working to accurately determine the second and third virial coefficients from osmotic pressure via simulations, investigate nonlinear elasticity of slide-ring gel networks, and explore solvent-dependent properties of polymer chains with novel and complex architectures.
Additional Information
Beyond the Lab: When he is not working on research, Hao likes to clear his mind through photography and cooking new dishes. In addition to his creative pursuits, he likes to stay active by playing badminton.
