Early life and education
editSamuel S. Mao received his Ph.D. in 2000 from the University of California, Berkeley. After completing his Ph.D., he joined Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a career staff scientist, where he worked until 2013.[2]
Academic and professional career
editIn 2004, Mao returned to UC Berkeley as an adjunct professor and established the Clean Energy Engineering Laboratory.[3]
Mao has published over 130 peer-reviewed articles and an inventor with 30 patents to his name, covering various innovations in clean energy and nanotechnology.[4]
Mao serves on the editorial and advisory boards of several prestigious journals, including the International Journal of Nanotechnology, Journal of Materiomics, and Energy Technology.[5]
Research contributions
editMao's research spans several areas within materials science and clean energy. Notably, he has contributed to the development of black hydrogenated titanium dioxide nanocrystals, which enhance solar absorption for photocatalysis.[6]
Other significant research includes his studies on the electronic band structure of ZnO-rich highly mismatched alloys and the surface-engineered doping of hematite nanorod arrays for improved photoelectrochemical water splitting.[3]
Honors and recognition
editSamuel S. Mao has received numerous accolades for his contributions to science and technology. In 2011, he was awarded the "R&D 100" Technology Award for his innovative technological developments. He also received the Berkeley MEGSCO Faculty Teaching Award in 2008 for his commitment to education.[7]
