Bibliography

    Xiang (Shawn) Chen is currently a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at George Mason University (GMU), which is the largest university in Virginia and one of the Tier-1 research facilities with a remarkable reputation in the field of computer engineering. Chen received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees with a major in Computer Engineering in 2016 from the University of Pittsburgh under the guidance of Dr. Yiran Chen (currently Duke University). Afterward, Chen joined GMU and founded “the Intelligence Fusion Lab.” Currently, he is advising 5 Ph.D. students and 1 Post-Doc fellow. During the past few years at GMU, Chen has led 3 National Science Foundation (NSF) projects as the principal investigator, 4 NSF projects as the collaborative investigator, and contributed to 1 Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) project as a sub-contractor. He also received the NSF CAREER Award in 2021. Chen’s research focuses on artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, mobile and distributed systems, as well as multi-domain edge applications.

    Chen has published more than 70 papers in top-tier conferences and journals (e.g., KDD, NeurIPS, CVPR, ECCV, MLSys, DAC, DATE, TC, TCAD, CODES, etc.). These works achieved the Microsoft Excellence Award in 2015, the Best Paper Award in DATE 2017, MLSys 2022, two Best Paper Award Nominations, and several other competition awards. With these works, Chen has built close collaboration with vast universities and many industrial research labs (e.g., Microsoft, IBM, Facebook, and Comcast).

    Chen has also contributed to the community through various service roles. He is the Associated Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems (TCAS) and the IEEE Transactions on Cyber-Physical Systems (TCPS). Chen is also the General Chair of the IEEE Cloud Summit in 2022, the ACM/IEEE Workshop on Computing Architecture for Edge Computing in 2018~2020, and the ACM/IEEE Symposium on Edge Computing in 2019. He also serves as the technical program chair/committee for over 10 top-tier conferences in the past few years.
