Jianping Xia received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science from Duke University, where he specialized in acoustofluidics and nanoscale bioparticle manipulation under the mentorship of Dr. Tony Jun Huang. His doctoral work established a new class of acoustic separation technologies for nanoscale bioparticles, including viruses and small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), providing rapid, high-purity, and biocompatible isolation from complex biological fluids.
