Director, Institute for Water Innovation (IWI)
Principal Investigator, Laboratory of Nanomedicine and Water Sustainability
NSERC Senior Industrial Research Chair in Nanotechnology Engineering
Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter generally in the 1–100 nm dimension range. Detailed understanding of chemical interactions and recent technological advances have created the possibility of designing nano-structured materials tailored for specific applications. Professor Gu heads an interdisciplinary research group that combines functional polymers and metal oxide materials to solve problems in health, environmental protection, and industrial applications.
