Bio

Dr. Xuan is an Assistant Professor of Surgery at Indiana University School of Medicine. He received his PhD in Material Science from Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan. After graduation, he joined the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Tsukuba, where he worked on a national project to develop 45nm Si CMOS HKMG.

Currently, Dr. Xuan is an investigator with the Indiana Center for Regenerative Medicine and Engineering at the IU School of Medicine, where his research focuses on developing the next generation of tissue nanotransfection (TNT) devices, nanochips for exosome detection, and novel biochips for wound healing applications.

Prior to joining IU School of Medicine, he worked at Purdue University on various projects such as nanofabrication, nanoelectronics and nanophotonics. He has authored and co-authored in more than 100 publications including Science, Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Photonics and Nature Communications with 10,000+ citations.
