Jiadan Xue

Jiadan Xue works on physical and analytical chemistry, using spectroscopic methods such as terahertz, Raman, and transient absorption spectroscopy combined with computational modeling (DFT) to study molecular structures. Two main lines of work stand out: identifying and distinguishing polymorphic forms of pharmaceutical crystals and cocrystals (e.g., ibuprofen, acyclovir, ethenzamide), and investigating excited-state photochemistry and electron transfer behavior of organic molecules. Recent work also extends into terahertz metamaterial sensors for detecting chemical and biological substances like glucose, DNA methylation markers, and chiral molecules.

Publication output has declined somewhat from a peak around 2019-2020 (10-12 papers/year) to a more moderate pace of about 6 papers/year over the last five years, with some year-to-year fluctuation.
