Biography

Fan Chen is an assistant professor in the department of Intelligent Systems Engineering at the Indiana University Bloomington, and is affiliated with IU-Quantum Science and Engineering Center (QSEc) and Luddy Artificial Intelligence Center (LAIC). Dr. Chen received her Ph.D. from the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University, her M.S. and B.S. from Tsinghua University and Xi’an Jiaotong University, China, respectively. Her research interests include Quantum Computing, Quantum Security, Beyond CMOS Computing, Emerging Memory Technologies, and Hardware Acceleration for Emerging Applications.

Dr. Chen is a recipient of the 2022 NSF Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) Award, the 2022 Best Associate Editor of IEEE Circuits and Systems Magazine (CAS-M), the 2021 Service Recognition Award of Great Lakes Symposium on VLSI (GLSVLSI), and the 2019 Cadence Women in Technology Scholarship. Her research has won the Best Paper Award (3rd Place) at 2023 IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing and Engineering (QCE), the Best Paper Award and the Ph.D. forum Best Poster Award at 2018 Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC).
Dr. Chen is the publication chair of ISLPED 2022/2021, chair of SIGDA University Booth at DAC 2022/2021, web and registration chair of GLSVLSI 2022, proceedings chair of ASAP 2021, arrangement chair of GLSVLSI 2021. Dr. Chen serves on the editorial board of IEEE Circuits and Systems Magazine (CAS-M). She also serves as technical reviewers for over 30+ international conferences/journals, such as IEEE TC, IEEE TCAS-I, IEEE TNNLS, IEEE D&T, IEEE IoT-J, ACM TACO, ACM TODAES, ACM JETC, etc.
