Long-Qing Chen - Biography#

Chen is the Donald W. Hamer Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University, US. He received his Ph.D. from MIT and M.S. from Stony Brook University of New York in the US and B.S. from Zhejiang University in China. He was a visiting Professor at TU Darmstadt, Germany in 2018 and 2019 under a senior Humboldt research award from the Alexander Humboldt Foundation and a visiting Professor at Rutgers in 2005 University through a Guggenheim Fellowship. He is the Director of US Department of Energy (DOE) CMS Center for Computational Mesoscale Materials Science (COMMS) since 2019 to advance the mesoscale science of quantum and functional materials and develop an open-source software (Q-POP) for discovering emerging mesoscale phenomena and understanding the formation and thermodynamic stability of mesoscale structures during structural and electronic phase transitions. He is the founding and current Editor-in-Chief since 2015 for npj Computational Materials published by Nature Portfolio with a focus on the design of materials through computation and machine learning and integrated computational and experimental research. He has published over 800 papers in archived journals on phase-field method development and its applications to understanding and designing functional oxides, structural alloys, energy materials, and quantum materials. He published a textbook, “Thermodynamic Stability and Equilibrium of Materials and co-edited 3 books in computational materials science. He also has 3 US patents either issued or disclosed with one licensed by Intel and one software package licensed by Mu-PRO LLC. He has delivered more than 400 invited, or keynote, or plenary presentations at national and international conferences and seminars at institutions.
