معرفی
Jie Xu is a Scientist at Argonne National Laboratory and a CASE Affiliated Scientist at the University of Chicago, Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering. Her research focuses on engineering durable, scalable, and sustainable polymer semiconductors for skin-like electronics and autonomous material discovery.
- Education: PhD in Chemistry (Nanjing University), Postdoctoral Fellow (Stanford University)
Her research bridges polymer physics, self-driving laboratories, and AI-guided material synthesis to address challenges in stretchable electronics, recyclable polymers, and energy-efficient manufacturing. She pioneered polymer circuits that remain conductive under extreme deformation and developed the first roll-to-roll mass-production method for stretchable semiconductors.
Her 15 most recent articles highlight advancements in AI-driven polymer discovery, biodegradable electronics, and multi-modal energy dissipation. Key themes include autonomous experimentation, hydrogen-bonded polymer systems, and machine learning for conjugated polymers, with applications in wearable medical sensors, soft robotics, and human-computer interfaces.
Scientific accolades include the Materials Research Society Postdoctoral Award, MIT Technology Review’s Innovators Under 35, and recognition as a Scialog Fellow. She serves on editorial boards for APL Machine Learning and Flexible Electronics, and her team at Argonne includes postdocs and students working on self-driving labs and degradable polymers.
