Chong Xie is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and NeuroEngineering Initiative at Rice University. He leads the Xie Lab, focusing on developing nanoscale neural interfaces to integrate electronics with living nervous systems. His work emphasizes ultraflexible neural probes and chronic neural recording systems. Before joining Rice in 2019, he held positions at the University of Texas at Austin and completed postdoctoral research at Harvard University.
Dr. Xie holds a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Stanford University (2011) and a B.S. in Physics from the University of Science and Technology of China (2004). His research spans bio-nanotechnology, bio-MEMS, and neural engineering, with applications in brain-machine interfaces, stroke rehabilitation, and neurovascular dynamics. Key innovations include nanoelectronic thread (NET) arrays for long-term neural recording and 3D neuronal-nanoelectronics hybrids for in vitro brain modeling.
His lab’s current projects address chronic neural recording stability (>1 year), large-scale neural mapping, intracortical microstimulation advancements, and peripheral nervous system interfaces. Collaborations involve clinical applications, neurotechnology development, and translational biomedical engineering.
Notable contributions include ultraflexible nanoelectronic mesh probes and syringe-injectable electronics. His work bridges material science, electrical engineering, and neuroscience to advance both fundamental understanding and clinical applications in neural interfaces.
