Fei Gao is a Professor in the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences at the University of Michigan. He is internationally recognized for his pioneering work in the fundamental understanding of ion-solid interactions and radiation effects in ceramics and reactor materials. His research spans a wide range of topics that are central to nuclear energy and radiation detection, including the degradation of spent nuclear fuel canisters and the behavior of ceramics used in nuclear waste forms. Gao's hallmark research is the development and application of multiscale computer simulations to model microstructure evolution in irradiated materials. His group integrates various computational methods such as density functional theory (DFT), ab initio molecular dynamics, and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations to study the complex behaviors of materials across multiple scales. In addition to his work on nuclear materials, he has made significant contributions to understanding the radiation response and signal generation in detector materials, thereby enhancing the performance and reliability of radiation detection systems.
