About

Stella Xulin

I'm a student researcher and organizer passionate about bridging engineering, biology, and music-led community projects. Based in Unionville, CT, I've conducted research at Yale School of Medicine and the University of Hartford, working on everything from epigenetic tools to sustainable civil engineering solutions. Beyond the lab, I lead FIRST Robotics teams, mentor students ages 9–14, and founded the Farmington Music Students Association, organizing concerts for 60+ musicians and partnering with senior homes and hospitals. My work blends technical precision with creative expression, whether I'm designing CAD models, building AI-driven music videos, or teaching elementary engineering classes.
