个人简介

Xiao Guo is a Professor of Materials and Chemistry, leading a team of 15-20 Postdocs, PhDs and other researchers at UCL. Research interest in Xiao’s group focuses on multi-scale syntheses and simulations of clusters, nanostructures and devices for applications in clean energy, information technology and healthcare, particularly in photo-/electro-/chemical catalysis, electro-/chemical energy storage, CO2 capture, biofuel cells and biointerfaces. Fundamental theories are coupled with ab initio, molecular dynamics, cellular automata and finite element simulations for materials discovery, while selected materials are synthesised and harnessed by atomic deposition, sol-gel, mechano-chemical, self-assembly, exfoliation and co-precipitation methods. He has been working at UCL since 2007. Before this, he was Professor (2000-2007), Reader (1998-2000), and Lecturer (1995-1998) at QMUL; PDRA (1991-1994) at Univ. of Oxford; and PDRA (1988-1990) at Univ of Strathclyde; PhD (1984-1988) at Univ of Manchester
