Chen received his doctorate in mechanical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2001. He was a senior research and development engineer in 3D Systems Inc., the pioneer in the 3D printing industry, until joining USC in 2006. Chen’s research focuses on additive manufacturing — 3D printing — in micro- and meso-scales. He has published more than 150 publications in refereed journals and conferences and has 12 issued and pending U.S. patents.
He received more than 10 best/outstanding paper awards in major design and manufacturing journals and conferences. Other major honors include the National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development — or CAREER — Award, the Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer Award from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, invitations to the National Academy of Engineering Frontiers of Engineering Symposiums, and USC’s Innovation Commercialization awards.
A fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Chen has served as conference/program chairs and keynote speakers in several international conferences, including the conference chair of the 2017 International Manufacturing Research Conference and the program co-chair of the 2019 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences. He also serves on the editorial boards of several design and manufacturing journals.
