Chengde Mao's research focuses on DNA nanotechnology, particularly designing DNA structures like crystals and wireframe polyhedra that can serve as templates for building patterned materials at the nanoscale. This work connects chemistry, materials science, and molecular biology by using DNA as a programmable building block rather than solely as genetic material. Prospective students would likely explore how DNA self-assembly can be used to create structured composite materials with potential applications in sensing and nanotechnology.
