Bao’s research focuses on fundamental understanding of molecular design rules for organic electronic materials. She pioneered a number of molecular design concepts for efficient charge transport in organic electronic materials. Her work has enabled flexible electronic circuits and displays. In the decade, she pioneered the field of skin-inspired organic electronic materials, which resulted in unprecedented performance or functions in wearable and implantable medical devices and energy storage applications.
The major research directions of Bao Group currently include developing materials and devices for understanding brain-gut axis, large-area high resolution soft electronic electrophysiology from brain, heart, intestine and muscle, wearable for mental health monitoring and genetically-targeted chemical assemblies in brain and peripheral nerve for brain-machine interface.
