Professor Hao is active in a number of areas including computational electromagnetics, microwave metamaterials, antennas and propagation for body centric wireless networks, millimetre/submillimetre active antennas and photonic integrated antennas. He is a co-editor of book 'Antennas and Radio Propagation for Body-Centric Wireless Communications' (Artech House, 2006). He has published over 200 technical papers (book chapters, Journal papers and conference publications) and served as an invited (ISAP07) and keynote speaker (ANTEM05), a conference organiser and session chair at many international conferences. In 2006 he received an EPSRC follow-on grant, co-funded with ERAF.

Professor Hao is an associate editor for IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, and a guest editor for IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. He is a Senior Member of IEEE and also a member of Technical Advisory Panel of the IET Antennas and Propagation Professional Network.
