Lei R. Cao

Lei R. Cao's research focuses on radiation detection materials and devices, including semiconductor detectors (silicon carbide, gallium oxide) and novel materials like perovskites and boron nitride crystals for detecting neutrons, gamma rays, and other radiation. This work supports applications in nuclear reactor instrumentation, radiation monitoring, and electronics testing under radiation exposure, with additional work on battery materials and reactor operations. The group also publishes on separate topics such as ecological network planning, suggesting some collaborative work outside the core radiation physics focus.

Publication output has grown steadily over the last decade, rising from about 8 papers per year in 2017 to a peak of around 14-15 per year in 2024-2025.
