Younan Xia
Professor of Biomedical Engineering
Professor of Biochemistry and Radiology
Professor Xia comes to Washington University from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Washington. His research interest include nanostructured materials as well as self-assembly and soft matter. Professor Xia's research group invented tunable gold nanocages whose optical properties make them excellent candidates for both imaging as well as biomedical applications.
Professor Xia earned his PhD in Physical Chemistry from Harvard University. According to Essential Science Indicators, he ranked third for citations among all material scientists for the 11-year period ending December 31, 2006. Professor Xia will be installed this fall as the James M. McKelvey Professor, which was donated by John McDonnell and the JSM Charitable Trust.
