Assistant Professor
Ph.D., Auburn University — Partial Differential Equations
Xue’s research addresses how populations and diseases spread in spatially heterogeneous and temporally shifting environments. A central focus is chemotaxis — the directed movement of organisms in response to chemical gradients — where she has developed results on Keller-Segel models, including spreading speeds, forced waves and long-term dynamics under climate-driven environmental shifts. She also works on nonlocal moving boundary problems, cross-diffusive epidemic models and multi-patch epidemic systems. She has published in the Journal of Differential Equations, the Journal of Mathematical Biology and Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences, has been an invited speaker at the Banff International Research Station and serves as guest editor for Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering.
