Professor Huajian Gao studied Engineering Mechanics at Xian Jiaotong University in China, receiving his B.S. degree with honor in 1982. He received his M.S. degree in 1984 and Ph.D. degree in 1988.at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. He joined Stanford University in 1988 and was promoted to Full Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in 2000. He joined Max Planck Society in 2001 and is presently a Scientific Member and Director at the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research (MPI-MF). He is also a Member of the scientific advisory boards of the Institute of Mechanics and the Institute of Metals Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Bio-nano-materials science has emerged as a new exciting field in which theoretical and experimental studies of structure, function and behaviours of DNA, RNA and protein together with nanostructured metal, ceramics, glass, semiconducting materials have become a focus. The importance of bio-nano-materials has begun to be recognized in the fundamental development in bio- and nano-technology. There is an increasing need for more systematic studies of the basic issues involved in bio-nano-materials, and a more active participation of researchers in applications of such novel materials. Professor Gao will review some of the basic scientific issues and advances in this field over the recent years and discuss some of the concepts, issues, approaches and challenges, aiming to stimulate a broader interest in interdisciplinary research between biology and materials science.
Members of the press and interested parties are cordially invited to attend. For further enquiries, please contact Ms Kwan of Faculty of Engineering at 2857 8258.
