Welcome! I am Yong Xie, Visiting Professor at ICMM-CSIC (Madrid, Spain) and Associate Professor at Xidian University (China).

My research focuses on low-dimensional materials and devices, with emphasis on the optical, mechanical, and electronic properties of 2D semiconductors, and their applications in optoelectronics, sensing, and AI-enabled scientific instrumentation.

With 17+ years of research experience across academia and industry, I work at the intersection of materials science, device engineering, and AI for Science.

Research Interests

  • Optical and electronic properties of low-dimensional semiconductors
  • 2D materials for optoelectronics and sensing
  • AI agents and autonomous workflows for scientific experiments
