Dr. Hao’s research involves the development and applications of novel magnetic nanostructures. These include the fabrication of magnetic thin films and small structures using sputtering, evaporation and electrodeposition combined with large area pattern generation tools such as interference lithography and block copolymer lithography, the characterization and modeling of the magnetic behavior of the resulting films and nanostructures, and their applications in biomedical devices, magnetic data storage media and magnetic logic devices.
