Prof Dr. Jong-Chen Chen | Intelligent Control Award | Best Researcher Award

Prof Dr. Jong-Chen Chen, National YunLin University of Science and Technology, Taiwan

Jong-Chen Chen is a Full Professor in the Department of Information Management at the National Yunlin University of Science and Technology, Taiwan, where he has served since 2000. He earned his M.S. in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington in 1986 and his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Wayne State University in 1993. Dr. Chen is renowned for developing a neuromolecular model that abstracts biological structure-function relationships into a system’s structure, allowing for rich intraneuronal dynamics. This model enables the system to self-organize and learn, with applications in robotic maze navigation, image recognition, data differentiation, and more. His research spans areas such as evolvable hardware, brain-like computer simulation, bio-computing, evolutionary computation, and pattern recognition. He has published extensively in journals including Sensors, Applied Science, Biomimetics, Evolutionary Computation, and Neurocomputing.
