Dr. Xian’s research focuses on bringing interdisciplinary cutting-edge science to medicine and engineering in the areas of bio/chemical sensing technologies, wearable medical devices, and smart sensing materials engineering. His research scope ranges from the exploring advanced sensing materials, developing wearable sensing technologies, to building integrated wearable healthcare system. Dr. Xian has good track record in developing wearable sensors for biomarkers analysis, personal exposure monitoring, and diseases management by integrating chemical, mechanical, electrical, and software innovations and solutions.
Dr. Xian’s research contributions have been demonstrated in 2 book chapters, 68 published journal papers, 4 issued patents and 3 filed provisional patents with a total citation over 2100 times and H-Index of 25. In addition, Dr. Xian’s has transferred three innovative medical device technologies from the lab to the commercial space. The most recent product is commercialized as the world-first wearable metabolic tracker: Breezing Med. Furthermore, this technology has received FDA 510k clearance.
Dr. Xian has been the PI and Co-PI for multiple research projects, and he has obtained ~$3.7 million external funding as the PI and ~$2.3 million as Co-PI from federal funding agencies. Dr. Xian serves as the reviewer for more than 30 prestigious peer-reviewed journals. He also serves as the reviewer of multiple NIH, NSF, and NASA research review panels. Dr. Xian is the member of American Chemical Society (ACS), Materials Research Society (MRS), and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He currently serves as the guest editor of Chemosensors, Biosensors, and Sensors.
