معرفی
Dr. Cheng Chen is Associate Professor and Nariman Farvardin Professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Ocean Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology. He directs the Subsurface Energy, Water and Environmental Systems (SEWES) Lab, focusing on porous media transport phenomena through combined computational and experimental approaches.
His NSF and DOE-funded research addresses multiphase flow in geological formations for carbon sequestration, shale energy recovery, and nuclear waste disposal. Recent work integrates machine learning for scale-bridging data assimilation and distributional reinforcement learning for autonomous marine systems. Chen's methodological innovations include lattice Boltzmann simulations for pore-scale analysis and Gaussian process models for uncertainty quantification.
Scholarly outputs demonstrate consistent focus on energy-geoscience interfaces, with recent expansion into privacy-preserving federated learning applications for IoT systems. His 2023-2024 publications increasingly address security challenges in distributed computing and adversarial machine learning.
