Dr. Xiaojun Xian is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at South Dakota State University. He earned his B.S. and Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Peking University and subsequently conducted postdoctoral research in Electrical & Biomedical Engineering at Arizona State University. Dr. Xian’s research focuses on applying interdisciplinary, cutting-edge science to healthcare and engineering, particularly in nanomaterials, bio/chemical sensing technologies, wearable medical devices, and energy storage devices. Dr. Xian has a proven track record in developing bio/chemical sensors for healthcare and precision agriculture, as well as nanomaterial-based energy storage devices. Dr. Xian’s research contributions have been demonstrated in 2 book chapters, 73 published journal papers, 5 issued patents and 3 filed provisional patents with a total citation over 2300 times and h-index of 26. Furthermore, Dr. Xian has successfully transitioned three medical device technologies from the lab to the market, including the world’s first wearable metabolic tracker, which has received FDA 510(k) clearance. Dr. Xian serves as the reviewer for more than 40 prestigious peer-reviewed journals. He also serves as the reviewer of multiple NIH, NSF, and NASA research review panels. Dr. Xian is the senior member of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the member of American Chemical Society (ACS) and Materials Research Society (MRS). He currently serves as the guest editor of Chemosensors, Biosensors, and Sensors.
