Election to the AIMBE College of Fellows is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to medical and biological engineers, comprised of the top two percent of engineers in these fields. College membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to "engineering and medicine research, practice, or education” and to "the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of medical and biological engineering or developing/implementing innovative approaches to bioengineering education." 

Professor Xu was nominated, reviewed, and elected by peers and members of the College of Fellows “for pioneering contributions in developing soft sensing technologies from cells to deep tissues in the human body.” 

A formal induction ceremony was held during the AIMBE Annual Event at the Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel in Arlington, Virginia on March 25, 2024. Professor Xu was inducted along with 162 colleagues who make up the AIMBE College of Fellows Class of 2024.
