Weize Xu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
BioDr. Weize Xu is a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Xiaojie Qiu's laboratory, where he focuses on advancing computational biology and genomics research. He earned his Ph.D. in Dr. Gang Cao's lab, where he made significant contributions to the development of computational methods and pipelines for spatial transcriptomics (MiP-Seq) and single-cell Hi-C (sciDLO Hi-C). His work during this time centered on enhancing data analysis frameworks, providing more precise insights into complex biological systems.
Dr. Xu is also an expert in the development of bioimaging processing softwares. During his Ph.D., he developed the U-FISH method, a deep learning-based approach for detecting signal points in FISH images. This innovative project involved curating a high-quality dataset from diverse sources, ensuring robust performance across various FISH data types. The resulting model demonstrated outstanding generalizability and included a user-friendly Web and LLM interface, making it accessible to researchers worldwide.
In addition to his Ph.D. research, Dr. Xu further honed his skills at SciLifeLab, where he worked under the mentorship of Dr. Wei Ouyang. There, he focused on web programming and developing key components for the Bioimage.IO deep learning platform, gaining valuable experience in creating innovative tools for computational biology.
With a solid foundation in computational biology, deep learning, and bioinformatics, Dr. Xu is passionate about driving cutting-edge research and contributing new perspectives to his field. He brings a unique combination of technical expertise and a collaborative mindset to his role in Dr. Xiaojie Qiu’s lab.

Xiaodong Xu
Professor of Applied Physics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsXu’s research explores emergent quantum phenomena in atomically thin materials, with a particular focus on moiré quantum matter, topological and correlated electronic states, magnetism, and spin–valley physics. By combining quantum device engineering with optical spectroscopy, magneto-optical techniques, and quantum transport, his group seeks to discover, understand, and control new states of quantum matter, with the goal of enabling new forms of quantum electronics and optoelectronics.

Yiqing Xu
Associate Professor of Political Science
BioDr. Xu’s primary research areas are causal inference and comparative politics. His recent work focuses on developing methods for more credible causal inference, improving the reproducibility and robustness of empirical research, and AI's soceity impacts. He received his PhD in Political Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, an MA in Economics from Peking University, and a BA in Economics from Fudan University.
Dr. Xu has published widely in leading journals across the social sciences and applied statistics. He has received numerous professional awards. In 2024, he received the Emerging Scholar Award from the Society for Political Methodology in recognition of his significant contributions to the field within ten years of earning his PhD.
Dr. Xu is affiliated with the Stanford Causal Science Center and the Stanford Center on China’s Economy and Institutions, as well as other research institutions. -
Yishan Xu, PhD, DBSM, CST
Adjunct Clinical Instructor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Sleep Medicine
BioDr. Xu is a licensed clinical psychologist in California, a Board-certified Behavioral Sleep Medicine Specialist, and AASECT Board-Certified Sex Therapist. She currently serves as the chair of the OPEC committee for the Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine. She completed training at the Stanford Sleep Medicine Center 2017-2019. She has specialized training in the diagnosis and treatment of insomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, parasomnias, nightmares, and adjustment to PAP therapy for sleep apnea.
Dr. Xu grew up in China and received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Virginia, VA. She has adapted treatment for insomnia for the Chinese population, and translated the book “The Rested Child” into Chinese, which is the first evidence-based book about children and teen’s sleep disorders in China. She is the founder and director of a multicultural group practice in the SF Bay Area: Mind & Body Garden Psychology Inc. She also hosts a podcast "Deep into Sleep" to help bridge the gap between public awareness and knowledge of sleep problems and the science of sleep medicine.
