Biography & Research:
Dr. Xin Rao was born on August 30, 1992, and currently serves as a Distinguished Associate Professor at the School of Electronics & Information, Hangzhou Dianzi University. He completed his Ph.D. in Physical Electronics in 2020 under the supervision of Prof. Xiaodong Chen, an IEEE Fellow, at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC). Prior to his doctoral studies, he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Information Science and Technologies from UESTC in 2014. Dr. Rao's academic journey is marked by his expertise in bioelectromagnetics, terahertz spectroscopy, and biomedical applications of pulsed electric fields.
Following his Ph.D., Dr. Rao held a postdoctoral position at Hangzhou Dianzi University (2021–2023) before becoming a faculty member in 2023. His research is focused on bioelectromagnetics, intelligent power circuits, and novel therapeutic technologies, particularly in the context of cancer therapy and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
Summary of Research Interests
Dr. Xin Rao’s research is situated at the intersection of bioelectromagnetics, power pulse systems, and terahertz spectroscopy, with a strong emphasis on biomedical applications. His primary research interests include:
Bioelectromagnetics: Dr. Rao investigates the interactions between electromagnetic fields and biological systems, particularly the effects of nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEFs) on cells. This has applications in cancer treatment and cellular regulation.
Power Pulse Systems: He explores the development and optimization of high-voltage pulse generators with adjustable pulse widths for biomedical applications, such as non-thermal tumor ablation and cellular stimulation. These pulse systems also have potential applications in intelligent power circuits.
Terahertz Spectroscopy: Dr. Rao has extensive work in two-dimensional terahertz correlation spectroscopy, focusing on the micro-dynamics of proteins in aqueous solutions and therapeutic effects on tissues. His research has applications in tumor diagnosis and medical treatments.
Intelligent Power Circuits: Another avenue of Dr. Rao’s research is the design of intelligent power circuits for use in advanced biomedical devices, including surgical systems and therapeutic technologies.
