Dr. Chen received the M.E. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and electronic engineering from The University of Adelaide, Australia, in 2013 and 2017 respectively. From 2017 to 2021, he was a postdoctoral researcher and a lecturer with the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at The University of Adelaide. He joined the College of Science and Engineering at Flinders University, Australia, as a lecturer in 2022.

His current research interests include antenna design and engineering, wearable technology, microwave absorbers, electromagnetic structures using advanced materials, and direction-finding techniques.

Dr. Chen received scholarships including the Australian Postgraduate Award 2013 and the Simon Rockliff Scholarship 2015. He was also the recipient of several awards including the Young Scientist Best Paper Award at the International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications (ICEAA) 2015, the Young Scientist Best Paper Award and Travel Bursary Award at ICEAA 2016, an Honorable Mention at IEEE AP-S Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (APS/URSI) 2017, a CST University Publication Award 2017, the Best Paper Award at IEEE Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference 2021, and the Best Paper Award at International Symposium of Antennas and Propagation 2024.

Dr. Chen was a Top Reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation in 2021 and 2023 and for IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters in 2024. He is an Associated Editor of IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters. He was the Chair of the IEEE South Australia Joint Chapter on Microwave Theory and Techniques (MTT) & Antennas and Propagation (AP) from 2019 to 2020, and serves again since 2023.
