In 2001 he joined National Sun Yat-Sen University, Taiwan, as a founding Director of the Institute of Communications Engineering of the University. Under his strong leadership the institute was ranked second in the country in terms of SCI journal publications and National Science Council funding per faculty member in 2004. In particular, National Sun Yat-Sen University was ranked first in the world in terms of the number of SCI journal publications in wireless LANs research papers during 2004 to mid-2005, according to a Research Report (www.onr.navy.mil/scitech/special/354/technowatch/textmine.asp) released by the Office of Naval Research, U.S.A. He was a visiting Professor to the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Kaiserslautern, Germany, in 1999, the Institute of Applied Physics, Tsukuba University, Japan, in 2000, the Institute of Experimental Mathematics, University of Essen, Germany in 2002 (under DFG Fellowship), the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2004, and the City University of Hong Kong in 2007. Dr. Chen's current research interests include wireless networking, MIMO systems, next generation CDMA technologies, information security, and Beyond 3G wireless communications. He is a recipient of numerous research and teaching awards from the National Science Council, the Ministry of Education and other professional groups in Taiwan. He has authored or co-authored over 200 technical papers in major international journals and conferences, five books, and several book chapters in the areas of communications, including Next Generation Wireless Systems and Networks, published by John Wiley in 2005. He has been an active volunteer for IEEE various technical activities for over 15 years. Currently, he is serving as the Chair of IEEE Communications Society Radio Communications Committee. He served or is serving as symposium chair/co-chair of many major IEEE conferences, including IEEE VTC 2003 Fall, IEEE ICC 2004, IEEE Globecom 2004, IEEE ICC 2005, IEEE Globecom 2005, IEEE ICC 2006, IEEE Globecom 2006, IEEE ICC 2007, and IEEE WCNC 2007. He served or is serving as Editorial Board Member or/and Guest Editor of IEEE Communications Letters, IEEE Communications Magazine, IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine, IEEE JSAC, IEEE Network Magazine, IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, and IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine. He is serving as the Chief Editor (Asia and Pacific) for Wiley's Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (WCMC) Journal and Wiley's International Journal of Communication Systems. His original work in CDMA wireless networks, digital communications, and radar systems has resulted in five U.S. patents, two Finnish patents, three Taiwanese patents, and two Chinese patents, some of which have been licensed to industry for commercial applications. He is also an adjunct Professor of Zhejiang University, China, and Shanghai Jiao Tung University, China.
