Xiong investigates non-storm electron loss mechanisms, emphasizing electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) wave scattering, outward radial diffusion, and solar wind-driven proton dynamics. Their research highlights the role of enhanced solar wind density in triggering radiation belt erosion through EMIC wave activity and magnetopause shadowing.

Their publications, such as the 2021 study on MeV electron loss during solar wind density enhancements, are central to understanding geospace storms and relativistic electron behavior. These works span topics like wave-particle interactions, plasma sheet dynamics, and magnetospheric substorms.

Xiong has received a postdoctoral fellowship from the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation (grant 2019 M650316). Their collaborations with Van Allen Probes teams and institutions like Wuhan University underscore their interdisciplinary contributions to radiation belt studies.
