About
Dr. Xu Wei’s research spans the innovative intersection of mechanical engineering and clinical thoracic surgery, with a focus on energy-absorbing structures and minimally invasive surgical techniques. In the realm of mechanical design, Dr. Wei has made significant contributions to origami-inspired engineering, notably through work on waterbomb origami tubes that demonstrate enhanced energy absorption and crushing efficiency—a 2025 paper that has already garnered 10 citations, signaling growing impact in the field of deployable structures and impact mitigation. In parallel, Dr. Wei has advanced surgical practice with pioneering clinical experience using the Da Vinci Surgical System for treating solitary pulmonary nodules. A 2014 study detailing the treatment of nine patients provided early, valuable insights into robotic-assisted lung surgery, achieving 4 citations and contributing to the broader adoption of precision, minimally invasive approaches in thoracic oncology. By bridging theoretical mechanics with real-world surgical applications, Dr. Wei exemplifies interdisciplinary innovation—developing novel materials and devices while directly improving patient outcomes through advanced surgical technology.
