Before joining USC, Dr. Chen has worked for prestigious research institutes, including Oak Ridge National Laboratory, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, International Institute for Applied System Analysis, Texas A&M Transportation Institute, Vanderbilt University. Dr. Chen is broadly interested in decision making under uncertainty, empirical model prediction and validation with applications to cyber-physical systems. Dr. Chen authored over 50 papers that are published in transportation journals (e.g., Transportation Research Part A, C, D), energy/environmental engineering journals (e.g., Applied Energy, Environmental Science and Technology, Energy Policy), and also featured in popular media outlets including Fox News, Scientific American, Daily Mail etc. His collaborative research with IIASA and ICCT led to the discovery of “Volkswagen Emission Scandal” in 2015. Dr. Chen was the recipient of Outstanding Achievement Award by Department of Energy in 2017, and Director’s Award by National Renewable Energy Laboratory in 2016. He is a committee member of Environmental Analysis in Transportation (ADC10) and Automated Transit System (AP020) in Transportation Research Board, National Academy of Sciences in United States.

The University of South Carolina is the state’s flagship university located in Columbia, South Carolina. It is currently ranked as one of the top 50 “Best Colleges” according to U.S. News and World Report (https://sc.edu/about/index.php). Dr. Chen’s research group will be part of the Center for Connected Multimodal Mobility (C2M2), a Tier 1 University Transportation Center granted by the US Department of Transportation. Its vision is to become a globally recognized multimodal mobility innovation center for moving people and goods, specializing in connectivity and data analytics.
