Professor Xunli Zhang PhD, DIC, FRSC, CChem, CEng
Professor of Bioengineering and Microsystems, Director of Chemical Engineering
Prof Xunli Zhang is Professor of Bioengineering and Microsystems, and the Director of Chemical Engineering, within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton.
Xunli’s key expertise lies in the area of microfluidics technology from design and fabrication of microfluidic devices, through the development of in-situ monitoring methods for bio/chemical processes, to microfluidic modelling, microsystems integration and automation. The application is largely associated with biomedical challenges like patient specific design of microfluidic devices for cancer treatment, rapid diagnosis, and tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The technologies developed in his research have also found great potential for industrial applications through a variety of industrial collaborations.
