General Research Interests
Research in Xu's group takes advantage of the recent developments
in de novo protein design and peptidomimetics, polymer science
and nanoparticles synthesis and manipulation, and uses designed
peptides and proteins in concert with the self-assembly of
block copolymers, conjugated molecule and nanoparticles as
platforms to generate nanostructured materials. Her group aims
to generate hierarchical structures spanning multi-length scales
down to a few nanometers with built-in biological, electrical
and magnetic functionalities. Her research group focuses on
a fundamental understanding of the physics of assemblage on
multiple length scales leading to the design and assembly of
functional thin films with tailored functionalities.
MSD Research Projects:
Self-Assembly of Membrane Proteins (LDRD)
