معرفی
Ruijuan Xu is an Assistant Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at North Carolina State University. She holds a B.E. from Zhejiang University, an M.S. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, all in Materials Science and Engineering. Before joining NC State, she was a GLAM Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University and SLAC National Laboratory. Her research focuses on designing novel functional properties in oxide thin films, heterostructures, and membranes, leveraging atomic-scale epitaxy and advanced characterization techniques.
Her work emphasizes applications in next-generation microelectronics and energy technologies, with particular attention to ferroic materials and strain engineering. Key research themes include flexoelectric effects, phase transitions, and the development of epsilon-near-zero materials.
Ruijuan’s publications span topics such as strain-induced phase transitions, surface phonon polaritons, and dynamic strain control in oxide membranes. Her studies often combine experimental and computational approaches to explore material behavior at the nanoscale.
Her group’s research has implications for energy storage, optoelectronics, and nanoscale device fabrication. Despite no listed awards, her contributions are highlighted through high-impact journals like Nature Communications and Advanced Materials.
Advising and grants: No formal student advisees listed. Research is supported through institutional and collaborative funding channels. Her lab focuses on interdisciplinary approaches, integrating materials synthesis, advanced imaging, and theoretical modeling.
