Biography

Jieyang Chen is a tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oregon. He was a Computer Scientist in Computer Science and Mathematics Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory mentored by Dr. Dave Pugmire and Dr. Scott Klasky. He received a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from University of California, Riverside advised by Dr. Zizhong Chen in 2019. He had a research internship at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) mentored by Dr. Shuaiwen Song in 2018 and a long-term research internship at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in the Data Science at Scale (DSS) team mentored by Dr. Qiang Guan and Dr. James Ahrens in 2017. He received a Master degree in Computer Science at University of California, Riverside in 2014. He had an one-year exchange study at The State University of New York at Buffalo in 2011. He received a Bachelor degree in Computer Science from Beijing University of Technology in 2012.
