Biography
Dr. Chao Chen is currently a Professor of Computer
Engineering and Director of Graduate Program in the Department of Electrical
and Computer Engineering at Purdue University Fort Wayne. She received her M.S. and
Ph.D. degrees from Georgia Institute of
Technology in 2003 and 2005, respectively. She also earned B.E. and M.E.
degrees from Shanghai Jiao Tong University,
China in 1998 and 2001, respectively. Prior to joining Purdue Fort Wayne, she
was a graduate research assistant in the Broadband and Wireless Networking
Laboratory at Georgia Institute of Technology.
Research
Interests
Dr. Chen's
primary research interests are in the field of wireless networking, edge
computing, and network security. Specifically, she has worked on connecting and
monitoring Internet of Things (IoT) devices, hardware/software co-design for
on-device machine learning, adversarial attacks and defenses on networked
systems, routing
and information dissemination in different types of networked computer systems
such as wireless opportunistic networks, wireless sensor networks, and
satellite networks, spectrum monitoring in cognitive radio networks, and
modeling and defending against internet epidemics. Much of her work has been on
improving the understanding, design, and performance of networked computer
systems, mainly through the application of learning, estimation, optimization,
modeling and performance evaluation. Dr. Chen is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
