Xiaohui Xu

Xiaohui is currently a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow in chemical and biological engineering at Princeton University, working with Prof. Rodney Priestley. Prior to Princeton, she earned her Ph.D. in environmental engineering at Chang’an University in China and undertook thesis research as a visiting graduate student at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB) in Germany. Her current research focus is on the synthesis of stimuli-responsive hydrogels, and their applications for sustainable environmental remediation. Xiaohui is interested in the design of functional soft materials by tunably altering the microstructure, mechanical property, stimuli-response.
