Chun-Hung Chen received the B.S. degree in Control Engineering from National Chiao-Tung University, Taiwan, in 1987, and the M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from National Taiwan University, Taiwan, in 1989. During 1989-1991, he participated in a C3I project while performing his obligatory service in the Taiwan military. After finishing his obligatory military service, he worked with Dr. Larry Ho and obtained his Ph.D. degree in Simulation and Decision from Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, in 1994.
Since 1994, Dr. Chen has been as Assistant Professor of Systems Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA. His interests cover a wide range of areas in discrete event systems modeling and simulation, ordinal optimization, manufacturing systems design, and robot motion planning. Recently, he has been engaged in the development of very efficient approaches for stochastic simulation and decision problems, and in their applications to manufacturing, scheduling, supply chain management, network design, logistics, robot motion planning, stochastic equilibrium problems, and robust engineering design problems. He is also a specialist in web-based distributed simulation.
Dr. Chen won the 1994 Harvard University Eliahu I. Jury Award for the Best Thesis in the field of Control. He is one of the recipients of the 1992 MasPar Parallel Computer Challenge Award and is listed in Who'sWho in America.
