Xize Niu

Professor Xize Niu is a faculty member at the University of Southampton, specializing in Biosensing & Microengineering. He leads the EPSRC-funded project "Lab-on-an-Organ: A droplet based portable continuous chemical sensor," collaborating with Emeritus Professor Geraldine Clough. His research focuses on microfluidics, lab-on-a-chip technologies, and sensor development with applications in biomedical and environmental monitoring.

Research Interests: Microfluidics, droplet-based sensors, wearable technologies, and point-of-care diagnostics. His work emphasizes portable devices for continuous chemical sensing, such as cortisol, lactate, and nitrate measurement. Notable achievements include a wearable sensor for tissue biomolecule monitoring and droplet flow analysis systems.

Key Projects: The EPSRC-funded Lab-on-an-Organ project aims to develop droplet-based portable sensors for real-time chemical analysis. Collaborations with Prof. Clough focus on vascular dynamics and microvascular perfusion.

Grants & Funding: Active EPSRC funding for Lab-on-an-Organ research. Publications span analytical methods, environmental monitoring, and biomedical applications.

Labs/Teams: Part of the Biosensing & Microengineering research group at the University of Southampton, contributing to interdisciplinary projects in microfluidics and biomedical engineering.
