Welcome to the You Group at Westlake University!
Our Mission
Welcome to the Multidimensional Nanospectroscopy Laboratory, led by Dr. Xiao You. Our research focuses on understanding the ultrafast dynamics, molecular interactions, and structural properties of complex liquids. Our research bridges molecular-scale behavior with macroscopic functionality. Through cutting-edge spectroscopic techniques, computational modeling, and interdisciplinary collaboration, we aim to:
- 1) Illuminate the dynamic processes driving hydrogen bonding, phase transitions, and mesoscopic structures in complex liquids.
- 2) Provide molecular-level insights into biologically relevant systems, such as interfacial water, biomolecular condensates, and lipid membranes, to reveal their roles in cellular function and real-world applications.
- 3) Develop innovative methods to study spatial and temporal heterogeneity in biological systems, providing new tools for understanding their complexity.

Meet Xiao You
Dr. Xiao You leads the Multidimensional Nanospectroscopy Laboratory at Westlake University. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Macromolecular Science and Engineering from Fudan University (2014) and her Ph.D. in Materials Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2019). Dr. You pursued postdoctoral research at the University of Texas at Austin (2019–2022) and the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource(SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory)(2022–2023). Her research interests include the formation of macromolecular biocondensates, nanoscale structural heterogeneity in functional materials, and ultrafast dynamics in liquid systems.
