Biography

I am an Associate Professor in Industrial Engineering, Tsinghua University. I received my Ph.D. degree from National University of Singapore in 2017, and my B.Eng. degree from Tianjin University in 2012. My research interests include developing methodologies and algorithms for complex or large-scale systems with multivariate or high-dimensional data, including intelligent sampling and sensing for data collection, data mining and information extraction for system modeling, and on-line monitoring and efficient anomaly detection for streaming data.

Research Opportunities and Job Vacancy: I am now looking for self-motivated Ph.D. students with strong math and coding background. I am also hiring Postdoc, Research Assistants/Associates for exciting machine learning research and industry-scale data science project. Interested applicants, please email your CV to: zhangchen01@tsinghua.edu.cn
