Dr David Fengwei Xie holds a BE degree in Biological Engineering (2004) and a PhD in Polysaccharide Engineering (2009) from the South China University of Technology. He started his research career initially at the University of Guelph (Canada). He then spent a productive period of eight years at the University of Queensland (Australia), where he led several research projects and studied for a Graduate Certificate degree in Higher Education (2014). In 2017, he moved to the University of Warwick (UK) by accepting a Marie Curie fellowship (actually, it turned out to be two). In 2020, he was awarded a five-year EPSRC Fellowship, enabling him to continue pursuing his ambitious research endeavours. While his early studies were primarily centred around starch processing, Dr. Xie has since developed a profound expertise in polymers, composites, and food. His fervour lies in harnessing renewable and bio-polymers, with a particular emphasis on addressing urgent sustainability, health, and food-related challenges.
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
