He was a Joint Faculty with Oak Ridge National Lab in 2005-2018. Prof. Gao mainly publishes in the area of Mechanics of Materials (or called Solid Mechanics), with 24 papers in Acta Materialia, 13 papers in Scripta Materialia, 20 papers in Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, and 3 papers in Progress in Materials Science. As a theorist, Prof. Gao focus on: (i) think the unthinkable (indigenous views on research frontiers; e.g., #37 and #93 below), and (ii) solve the unsolvable (bottleneck engineering problems and especially failures at extremes; e.g., #158 and #189 below). Besides the above research accomplishments, Prof. Gao has won many awards for his teaching, adminstration, and services. He has graduated 18 PhD students and numerous master students, who have won Acta Student Awards and many Best Paper/Thesis Awards in TMS and other organizations. Prof. Gao is a Fellow of ASM and has received 2026 TMS Brimacombe Medal with citation: "For foundational contributions to small-scale mechanics, material failure at extreme conditions, and solid-state additive manufacturing, and for exceptional professional service."
