Prof. Xu has been selected for the Youth Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). His research primarily focuses on Water-based Fire Extinguishing Dynamics, Efficient Smoke Exhaust Technology Based on Perpetual Tenability Requirements, Fire Prevention and Extinguishing Technology for New Energy Fires. In recent years, He has led 8 scientific research projects, including the Youth Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, projects funded by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) of Singapore (S$2.03 million, approximately RMB 11.3 million), two projects from the China-Singapore International Joint Research Institute, the Shanghai Sailing Program for Young Scientific and Technological Talent project, the Anhui Provincial Natural Science Foundation Youth Project, a fire project from the State Key Laboratory of Fire Science, etc. He has also participated as a key executor in two projects funded by the Ministry of National Development (MND) of Singapore (with total funding of RMB 33.6 million and RMB 50 million). He has published 30 SCI-indexed papers as the first or corresponding author in high-impact international journals such as Advanced Functional Materials (IF=19.0), Advanced Science (IF=14.1), Combustion and Flame, Green Energy & Environment (IF=14.6), International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer (4 papers), International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer (2 papers), Physics of Fluids (3 papers), Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science (4 papers), and Fire Safety Journal (2 papers). Among these, he is the sole first/corresponding author for 22 papers. He has applied for 13 domestic and international invention patents, with 7 granted.

Dr. Xu has been invited to serve as a Session Chair for several conferences, including the 11th International Symposium on Fire Safety Science and Engineering, the 9th International Colloquium on Performance, Protection & Strengthening of Structures Under Extreme Loading & Events, and the 19th International Conference on Fire Safety Science and Technology (ICFSST2017). At ICFSST2017, he delivered an oral presentation titled Dynamic Process of Single Water Droplet Impacting on a Hot Heptane Surface and was honored with the Best Presentation Award. He was also invited to give an invited speech titled Study on the Mechanism of Flame Intensification Induced by Water Mist Suppression of Oil Fires and Its Mitigation Strategies at the 11th International Symposium on Fire Safety Science and Engineering.
