Research summary
AI-generated

Jinling Gao works on the mechanical behavior of composite materials and structures, including how textiles, ceramics, and metamaterials respond to impact, dynamic loading, and thermal stress. Recent work covers ballistic-resistant fabric composites, lightweight insulating aerogels, and engineered metamaterials for wave absorption and load-bearing applications. The research combines experimental testing with modeling and design methods for advanced material systems.
