Fan Xue

Fan Xue is a graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science, where she is building integrated microsystems for biomolecular sensing and microfluidic automation. Her research addresses the need for compact, continuous sensing platforms to monitor physiological and environmental conditions without bulky instrumentation. Fan develops electrochemical sensors and gravity-driven microfluidic modules that enable precise, real-time biochemical measurements. As a MathWorks Fellow, she anticipates utilizing MATLAB to analyze sensor data, simulate electrochemical interactions, and implement feedback control for signal compensation. She also seeks to draw on the Signal Processing Toolbox, Image Processing Toolbox, and Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox to model sensor behavior, calibrate system performance, and optimize data interpretation. Fan’s work could lead to scalable, cost-effective systems for point-of-care diagnostics, wearable health monitoring, and automated laboratory workflows.
