Jie Xu focuses his research on the study of acoustofluidics, which explores the phenomena when acoustic waves meet fluids at microscale.
Applications of this research include microfluidic mixing, pumping, particle manipulation, worm/sperm sorting, fish manipulation, sensing enhancement, soundproofing and additive manufacturing.
He also studies microfluidic biosensors, which are cost-effective, user-friendly and reliable biological microfluidic chips, to address various concerns in global health.
