Rate My Professor Xuewei Wang

Wang's research specializes in chemical sensors and biosensors, droplet microfluidics, organic nanoparticles, medical diagnostics, biocompatibility, drug release, and medical devices. His innovations include ultrasensitive colorimetric ion sensors for blood analysis, calibration-free sensors for home use, nitric oxide-releasing intravascular catheters, biocompatible implants, wearable infection sensors, and nanoparticles for cancer applications. Key publications feature "Ultrasensitive Ionophore-Based Liquid Sensors for Colorimetric Ion Measurements in Blood" (Analytical Chemistry, 2023), "Self-Calibrated Ion Selective Electrodes" (Analytical Chemistry, 2023), "Ion-Induced Phase Transfer of Cationic Dyes for Fluorescence-Based Electrolyte Sensing in Droplet Microfluidics" (Analytical Chemistry, 2021), and "Ionophore-Based Biphasic Chemical Sensing in Droplet Microfluidics" (Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2019). His laboratory has obtained substantial funding, including NIH R01 grants from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (2023) and National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (2025), an NIH R21 grant (2023), VCU Commercialization Funds, JDRF grants, and support from the Orphan Disease Center. Wang has earned the Virginia State Outstanding Faculty Award - Rising Star (2025), Outstanding Faculty Award from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (2024), VCU Outstanding Early Career Faculty Award (2024), VCU National/International Recognition Award (2024), JDRF New Faculty Transition Award (2019), and JDRF Advanced Postdoctoral Fellowship (2017).
