Short Bio
Chen Chen joined John Hopcroft Center for Computer Science of Shanghai Jiao Tong University as a Tenure-track Associate Professor in 2022, where he is also a member of Emerging Parallel Computing Center at Computer Science and Engineering Department. Prior to that, he worked as a Researcher at Huawei Hong Kong Research Center. He obtained the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2018, under the supervision of Prof. Bo Li and Prof. Wei Wang. He obtained the Bachelor degree from Tsinghua Univerity in 2014. He visited UCSB in 2013 (hosted by Prof. Christopher Kruegel) and University of Toronto in 2017 (hosted by Prof. Baochun Li).
