Jie Chen teaches in the field of systems and control, and signal processing. He was born in Yichun, Jiangxi Province, The People's Republic of China on January 14, 1963. He received the B.S. degree in aerospace engineering from Northwestern Polytechnic University, Xian, China in 1982, the M.S.E. degree in electrical engineering, the M.A. degree in mathematics, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering, all from The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1985, 1987, and 1990, respectively.

Dr. Chen currently holds the appointment of Chair Professor of Electronic Engineering at City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China. Prior to joining City University, he was with School of Aerospace Engineering and School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia from 1990 to 1993. He joined University of California, Riverside, California as an Assistant Professor in 1994, where he became an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering in 1997, and a Professor in 1999. He served as the Professor and Chair of Electrical Engineering from 2001 to 2006. He has also held guest positions and visiting appointments with Northwestern Polytechnic University, Xian, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian, Harbin Institute of Technology-Shenzhen Graduate School, Shenzhen, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong, China; Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo, Japan; and The University of Newcastle, Callaghan, The University of Western Sydney, Penrith, Australia. His main research interests are in the areas of linear multivariable systems theory, networked control, system identification, robust control, optimization and complexity theory, and broad applications of control theory and techniques. He is the author of two books, respectively, (with G. Gu) Control-Oriented System Identification: An H-infinity Approach (Wiley-Interscience, 2000), and (with K. Gu and V.L. Kharitonov) Stability of Time-Delay Systems (Birkhauser, 2003).

An elected Fellow of IEEE, Fellow of AAAS, Fellow of IFAC, and a Yangtze Scholar/Chair Professor of China, Dr. Chen was a recipient of 1996 US National Science Foundation CAREER Award, 2004 SICE International Award, and 2006 Natural Science Foundation of China Outstanding Overseas Young Scholar Award. He was on a number of journal editorial boards, serving as an Associate Editor and a Guest Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, a Guest Editor for IEEE Control Systems Magazine, an Associate Editor for Automatica, Journal of Control Theory and Applications, and the founding Editor-in-Chief for Journal of Control Science and Engineering. He is currently an Associate Editor for Automatica.
