Early life and education

edit

Xia was born in Jingjiang, Jiangsu, China in 1965. After receiving his B.S. degree in chemical physics from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 1987,[5] he pursued graduate studies at the Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter until the end of 1990.[6]

He moved to the United States in 1991 and earned his M.S. degree in inorganic chemistry from University of Pennsylvania with Alan G. MacDiarmid in 1993.[7] He received his Ph.D. degree in physical chemistry from Harvard University with George M. Whitesides in 1996.[8]

Research

edit

The current research of Xia and his group centers on the development of new chemistry, physics, and technological applications of nanostructured materials – a class of materials which feature sizes less than 100 nm. His research includes the chemistry and physics of nanomaterial synthesis, the application of nanomaterials to biomedical research, and developing nanomaterials for energy- and environment-related applications.

Xia co-invented soft lithography while he was a PhD student with George M. Whitesides at Harvard University.[9][10] As an independent researcher, he and his group have made original and important contributions to the following areas: colloidal crystals and their photonic applications,[11] colloidal assembly,[12] one-dimensional nanostructures,[13] electrospinning and alignment of nanofibers,[14] electrospun nanofibers as scaffolds for tissue engineering,[15] and shape-controlled synthesis of colloidal nanocrystals and their applications in plasmonics, spectroscopy, heterogeneous catalysis, and electrocatalysis,[16] invention of silver nanostructures with many different morphologies such as nanowires and nanocubes,[17] and invention of gold nanocages and exploration of their biomedical applications.[18][19]
