Spencer Zhao

Spencer graduated from the University of Toronto with a BASc in Engineering Science. He is currently pursuing a PhD in chemical engineering in Zhenan Bao's lab. Spencer's research focuses on developing spatiotemporally controlled in situ manufacturing of conductive polymers directly on the neuron membrane surface. The eventual goal will be to use the system as a tool for regulating the excitability of specific neural pathways in response to chemical stimuli.
