Dr. Xiao is a scientist of exceptional ability in the mechanical engineering field, specifically in the areas of Combustion Optical Diagnostic Research and Biomedical Optics Research. For more than 10 years, Dr. Xiao had been involved in research that has involved mechanical engineering, mathematical computer science and physics. Specifically, his research projects were focused on laser optical based diagnostics technique, combustion, biomedical optics and design of computing models for analysis of the resulting data. This variety of research has provided Dr. Xiao with a broad foundation in mechanical engineering, chemical physics and spectroscopy, laser optics theory and computer software theory, which has led scientists of a variety of disciplines to find his work useful and informative to further their own work. By having an academic and research background in Mechanical engineering, Mathematical Computer Engineering and Applied Physics, Dr. Xiao is able to apply his multi-disciplined approach to study the complexities of public health care. Dr. Xiao is currently working for SRI International (formerly Stanford Research Institute) on National Institute of Health funded scientific projects that focus on the development of new molecular upconverting labels to: 1) enhance the tools for diagnosing, predicting, and treating cancer and 2) for use in a new assay for pathogen detection for defense against bioterrorism (a project funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the NIH). These labels can be used in a variety of formats, including in vitro assays to assist in diagnosis of biopsied tissue or bodily fluids, in vivo use to detect diseased sites or assist with biopsy and defining tumor boundaries during surgical excision, or micorfluidic systems for high throughput screening. The National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health, and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research fund the aforementioned research projects. Dr. Xiao is one of a small percentage of individuals who have risen to the very top of the field of combustion research as he now focuses his expertise in the area of biomedical research, specifically in the area of Cancer earlier detection research. Dr. Xiao is an outstanding post-doctoral research associate at SRI International. Since 2002, Dr. Xiao has been an investigator on the following projects: Cancer Detection and Diagnostics; Sensitive, Rapid Bioassay using Upconverting Chelates and Advanced stimulated scattering measurements in supercritical fluids. Dr. Xiao has an extensive academic background as he has earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Applied Physics, a Master of Science Degree Applied Physics, a Masters in Science Degree in Mathematical Computer Science and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering.
