Dr. Xu is a assistant scientist at Nanoscience and Technology division at Argonne National Lab since 2018. She received her PhD degree in Chemistry from Nanjing University in 2014, with a focus on the understanding of molecular packing structures and dynamic behaviors in confined soft matters. In her subsequent postdoctoral training at Stanford University between 2014 and 2018, she applied her solid background in polymer physics to the emerging field of skin-like electronics and developed a new class of intrinsically stretchable electronic materials. So far, Dr. Xu has 18 peer-reviewed publications and 2 patents, among which 6 are first/co-first authored papers on high-profile scientific journals, such as Nature, Science, and Macromolecules. In particular, her work on intrinsically stretchable electronics has been featured in many scientific journals and news media such as Science, Nature News and Views, Nature Nanotechnology, C&EN, and so on. Dr. Xu received the prestigious MRS Postdoctoral Award in 2018 “for applying polymer physics concepts to realize integrated, intrinsically stretchable transistors for skin electronics”, and she was also one of the co-leaders of the Stanford eWEAR Student Society, which aims to promote student/postdoc collaborations and exposure to the field of wearable technology. Dr. Xu’s current research focuses on three areas: 1) kinetically engineering the polymer packing structure for high performance bioelectronics; 2) understanding the structure-property relationships of electronic polymers under processing and deformation by advanced in-situ characterization; 3) building an automated self-learning processing platform for multifunctional thin films, and seeking their high-profile processing-morphology-property relationships and peak performance
