Laboratory Homepage: http://daigroup.org
Professor Dai Xiaochuan obtained his bachelor’s degree from Peking University in 2010 and his doctoral degree from Harvard University in 2015. Subsequently, he conducted postdoctoral research at the Department of Chemistry of Harvard University, the Department of Biomedical Engineering of Tufts University, and the Department of Electrical Engineering of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In November 2020, he joined Tsinghua University full-time and established the Living Bioelectronics Laboratory.
His research focuses on bio-stealth neural electrodes, cyborg tissue, implantable brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), and their translational applications. He has published more than 20 papers in top journals including Science, Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Materials, and PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America). He has filed over 10 invention patent applications and presided over or participated in more than 10 research projects funded by institutions such as the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Ministry of Science and Technology, national laboratories, and the Beijing Municipal Government.
He is invited to serve as Associate Editor of Nano TransMed, Editorial Board Member of Brain Network Disorders, Expert of the Carbon-Based Sensing and Device Standardization Working Group under the National Technical Committee on Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems of Standardization Administration of China (SAC/TC 336), Committee Member of the Brain-Computer Interface Biomaterials Branch of the Chinese Society for Biomaterials, and Committee Member of the Brain-Computer Interface Subcommittee of the National Technical Committee on Information Technology Standardization.
