Songxin Tan received his PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2003. He worked as Assistant Professor and was then promoted to Associate Professor at South Dakota State University (2004–present). His research topics mainly include optical sensing, lidar remote sensing, image and signal processing, as well as pedagogy.
Prof. Dr. Xiaojun Xian is an assistant
professor at the EECS Department, South Dakota State University. Before that, he worked at
the Biodesign Institute from 2010 as an assistant research scientist, research
scientist, and associate research professor. He studied for B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Physical Chemistry
at Peking University, China. After obtaining the Ph.D. degree, he entered the Arizona State University for Postdoctoral research in electrical and biomedical engineering. He serves as the reviewer for
more than 30 prestigious peer-reviewed journals. He also serves as the reviewer
of multiple NIH, NSF, and NASA research review panels. He is a member of the American
Chemical Society (ACS), Materials Research Society (MRS), and the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He currently serves as the topic
editor of Chemosensors and the topic editor of Biosensors. His research focuses
on bringing interdisciplinary cutting-edge science to medicine and engineering
in the areas of bio/chemical sensing technologies, wearable medical devices, and
smart sensing materials engineering. His research scope ranges from exploring
advanced sensing materials and developing wearable sensing technologies to
building integrated wearable healthcare systems.
