Bio: Dr. Yadong Xu is an assistant professor at Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School. He was a postdoctoral researcher in Medical Engineering at California Institute of Technology. He received B.S. in Materials Chemistry from Sichuan University, M.Res. in Drug Sciences from University College London, and Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering from University of Missouri Columbia. His research focuses on pioneering next-generation bio-integrated electronics to address unmet clinical needs in precision and personalized healthcare. His work establishes a synergistic pipeline that spans from the fundamental design of soft biomaterials and scalable manufacturing to the development of self-powered, multimodal wearable and implantable devices, enhanced by artificial intelligence for advanced data analysis and diagnostics.

He is a recipient of the Science Fund Program for Distinguished Young Scholars of the NSFC (Overseas), Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-financed Students Abroad, Outstanding Chemical Engineering PhD Student Award, and Raymond White Dissertation Year Fellowship. He is an Editorial Board Member of Discover Electronics (Springer Nature). He has published more than 20 research articles, including Science, Nature Nanotechnology, Science Advances, Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America as first author, with over 1,900 citations and h-index of 17. His research was highlighted by Nature, Nature Nanotechnology, Matter, and has been extensively disseminated across a number of media outlets. 

Lab Openings: Our research group welcomes applications from outstanding researchers (including postdoctoral scholars, research assistants, visting students, and PhD/Master's candidates) with backgrounds in materials science, chemistry, physics, biology, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science. Prospective candidates are encouraged to contact Prof. Xu (yadongxu@pku.edu.cn) with their anticipated start date, transcript, English certificates, and a CV outlining their research accomplishments. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and only selected candidates will be reached out for interviews.
