Dr.Tian Xia is the Associate Professor of Medicine in Division of NanoMedicine,Department of Medicine at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Hismain research area is on the environmental and health impacts of engineerednanomaterials with the goal to understand the nanostructure property activityrelationships. His has established toxicological profiles for over 100different nanomaterials covering the major material categories includingcarbonaceous materials (fullerene, graphene, graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes(single-, multi-walled)), metal (Au, Ag) and metal oxides (transition metaloxide, rare earth oxide), silica, III-V materials. Research findings have beenused for safer design of nanomaterials and development of environmental andbiomedical applications. He has published over 120 articles and he was namedHighly Cited Researcher in Chemistry in 2016 by Clarivate Analytics, with totalcitation over 30,000 and H factor at 60 according to Google Scholar.
