Dr. Xing received his Bachelor degree in Chemistry from BSc Xingjiang Normal University 1994, and Ph.D. degrees from the Nanjing University in 2000, respectively. After that, he moved to the Department of Chemistry, at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) as a research staff. In 2003, Dr. Xing went to the Crump Institute of Molecular Imaging at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford University (MIPS) to do his post-doc research. In Dec. of 2005, he started his independent research at the Division of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry (CBC), School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), where he was promoted to tenure associated professor in 2011. From 2011 to now, Dr. Xing is holding the appointments as Deputy Head in CBC and Assistant Chair in SPMS for academic education.
