Education

  • Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley, 1985
  • M.S., University of California, Berkeley, 1983
  • B.S., National Taiwan University, 1979

Background

Dr. Chen began at Tech in 1988 as an Assistant Professor. Prior, he was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Syracuse University.

Research

Dr. Chen's research interests include automatic control, mechanical systems, manufacturing, neural networks, and fuzzy engineering. However, his focus is the exploration of uncertainty management. He has been studying the cause, description, and consequences of uncertainty issues in engineering problems. Dr. Chen believes this is a major theme that marks the essence of engineering, as compared with applied science.
