Xibi Chen

Xibi Chen is a graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science working to advance terahertz (THz) integrated electronic systems for ultra-high-resolution imaging and next-generation wireless communication. His research focuses on developing beam-forming and steering devices, as well as transceiver systems that operate at sub-THz frequencies, integrating custom-designed CMOS chips, antenna-in-package technologies, and novel duplexing techniques to achieve sharp, “needle-like” beams and low-loss signal transmission. As a MathWorks Fellow, Xibi will further develop algorithms and real-time control systems to optimize THz system performance, demonstrating centimeter-scale radar imaging and wireless links exceeding 100 meters. His work relies heavily on MATLAB, utilizing the platform to build unified system interfaces, run phased-array simulations, and develop graphical user interfaces for real-time beam steering and data visualization. These innovations could reshape 4D imaging and communication technologies for autonomous systems, high-speed networking, and satellite communications. With his prototype, which contains custom-designed, fully integrated sub-THz transceiver and antenna array systems, Xibi’s research could help deliver LiDAR-comparable angular resolution and unlock the full capacity of THz frequencies.
