Personal profile
Dr. Xuan Xue is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, Suzhou, China. She received her Ph.D. degree from the University of Nottingham (UK) with full Oversea Research Scholarship. After her Ph.D., she has achieved valuable experience in both academia and industry R&D. Her research interests cover a wide range of interdisciplinary research areas from materials science, polymer chemistry, surface chemistry, 3D-bioprinting to tissue engineering, cell biology and microbiology.
Currently, she has particular interests in developing nanofluids based on 2D materials stabilised through the use of in-house made polymeric Pickering emulsifiers for solar PV/T applications and has established industry collaborations for practical development.
Also, she is working closely with collaborators from virology and microbiology on the discovery of functional polymers using high throughput screening methodology, and the development of novel antimicrobial materials. A tuition fee - funded PhD position is now available to apply under this project (open until May 2025). Please feel free to contact her (xuan.xue@xjtlu.edu.cn), should you have any inquiry.
