Tao Hu
PhD
Biography
Tao Hu is a postdoctoral researcher in research unit of sustainable chemistry. She is working in several projects and responsible to do the characterization of solid electric and catalytic materials. She teach the battery related course and help Professor to supervise students. Main research interesting are Lithium-ion batteries, nanomaterials, biomass materials, catalysts, inorganic-polymer composites and functional ceramic materials for high frequency electronics.
Tao Hu studied at Microelectronics and materials physics laboratories, University of Oulu since 2001 and got PhD degree in 2004. She had been continue working there as a postdoctoral researcher and project manager. She had a short time working in Selmic as a technical specialist, then back to University and working in research unit of Sustainable Chemistry. She has broad knowledge of Chemistry (BSc), Electric materials and devices (MSc), Microelectronics (PhD). She is familiar with materials synthesis, surface chemistry and characterization techniques. Good at team work, talent at problem-solving, and have knowledge of material science and nanotechnology.
