About

Dr. Xiyuan Li is a uniquely interdisciplinary researcher whose work spans stretchable fiber sensors, robotic control systems, and oncology—a rare combination that underscores a talent for tackling complex problems across engineering and medicine. In materials science, Dr. Li pioneered a scalable thermal drawing method for fabricating highly stretchable, multifunctional electrical and optical fiber sensors, enabling multimodal extreme deformation sensing for wearable electronics and biomedical implants (57 citations). This foundational work has significant implications for human-machine interfaces and implantable devices. In parallel, Dr. Li has made notable contributions to head and neck cancer treatment, serving as a lead investigator on a phase 2 trial combining neoadjuvant sintilimab and chemotherapy with transoral robotic surgery for HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer—a study that achieved a major pathological response in a high proportion of patients. Additional work explores the prognostic impact of HPV infection in oropharyngeal cancer and the role of transoral robotic surgery. Demonstrating further breadth, Dr. Li has also contributed to robotics, developing inertial measurement unit-based attitude balance control for wheeled quadruped robots. This diverse portfolio reflects a career defined by translational thinking and technical rigor.
