The research conducted in Xu's Laboratory at USTC is focused on advanced membrane separation science and unit operation. In particular, it focuses on charged membranes, inorganic-organic hybrid (composite) membranes for use in liquid separation, reaction, cleaning production and environmental applications. We are working in an interdisciplinary research area featuring a combination of chemical engineering and materials science as list below:

Preparation and characterization of membranes
Separation liquid mixtures
Design of molecular structure of membrane materials
Design of membrane structure suitable to separate objective mixtures
Process design of membrane applications
Inorganic-organic composite membrane
Fuel cell and solid eletrolyte
Controlled release
Chemical transfer unit operation
Simulation of membrane process

Currently, our thrust areas are concentrated on bipolar membrane and nanofiltration membrane as well as the related processes.

Dr. Xu is a professor of chemistry department at the University of Science and Technology of China. He received B.S. in science (1989) and M.S. in Apply Chemistry (1992) from Hefei University of Technology in China, and Ph.D (1995) in Chemical Engineering from Tianjin University. He was a post-doctoral staff member at the Institute of Polymer Science in Nankai University (1995-1997) and a visiting scholar at Department of Chemical System Engineering in Tokyo University (2000) and at organic polymer chemistry in Tokyo Institute of Technology (2001).

In 1997, Dr. Xu joined the faculty of Applied Chemistry at USTC as an associate professor. He was promoted to a professor in 2002. He has over 60 refereed publications. Dr. Xu has given over 20 invited lectures in academia and industry around the world, including the several plenary lecture in domestic membrane symposium and International Conference on Environment in Hongkong (January, 2001).

Dr. Xu's services to the scientific community include co-chairing the 1999 membrane symposium in light industries, national membrane conference on homogenous membrane (2001). He is editorial committee of Water Treatment and expert member of Chinese J Membrane Science. In 2002, as a member of Applied Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Branch Group in Educational Administration of China, he devote his most time to teaching reform in high school.

Dr. Xu received several awards, including Educational Award of Baogang (1995), Outstanding Ph.D thesis Award in Tianjing University (2000), and Huawei Faculty Achievement Award in USTC (2000).

In 2002, as only one quota, he received USTC Alumni Foundation Award for young faculty career. It is a great honor and also a challenge for his future. As the first contributor, he was issued by the Provincial Technical Advance Award in recognition of achievements in academic excellence (2002).

Dr. Xu is married and has a lovely son.
