About

Xuewu Ge is a pioneering researcher whose work bridges photonics, microfluidics, and materials science. His major contributions center on developing innovative optical manipulation techniques, most notably through his groundbreaking work on photopyroelectric tweezers. In his highly cited 2024 paper, Ge introduced a versatile manipulation platform that overcomes traditional limitations of optical tweezers by eliminating the need for high-intensity lasers, complex electrode designs, or external electric sources—using instead a photopyroelectric effect to trap and move particles with unprecedented simplicity. This work, already garnering 13 citations shortly after publication, has opened new avenues for non-contact particle handling in biological and medical applications. Ge’s research has significantly advanced the field of optofluidics, enabling more accessible and adaptable tools for single-cell analysis, drug delivery, and lab-on-a-chip systems. His achievements demonstrate a remarkable ability to solve long-standing challenges in micro- and nanomanipulation, making him a leading figure in developing next-generation photonic and microfluidic technologies for real-world biomedical applications.
