Jingbang Chen is a Research Assistant Professor at the School of Data Science, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-Shenzhen) and holds a joint faculty position at Shenzhen Loop Area Institute (SLAI) starting September 2025. His academic journey includes a Ph.D. from the University of Waterloo, an M.S. from Georgia Institute of Technology, and a B.Eng (Honors) from Zhejiang University under the supervision of Can Wang.
Education:
- Ph.D., Computer Science, University of Waterloo (2023-2025)
- M.S., Computer Science, Georgia Institute of Technology (2020-2022)
- B.Eng. (Honors), Pursuit Science Class, Chu Kochen Honors College (Joint Program with College of Computer Science and Technology), Zhejiang University (2016-2020)
- High School, Guangzhou No.2 High School (2010-2016)
Dr. Chen's research focuses on the design, analysis, and implementation of provably efficient algorithms and data structures, with a particular emphasis on graph theory. He is also exploring intersections between traditional algorithm design and artificial intelligence. His work bridges theoretical computer science with practical applications in network analysis, temporal data processing, and optimization. The publication record shows a strong trajectory with papers in top venues including ICML, VLDB, KDD, and theoretical computer science conferences.
Scientific Contributions:
- Published in premier venues including ICML 2025, VLDB 2025, KDD 2024, and multiple theoretical conferences
- Research spans graph algorithms, optimization techniques, network analysis, and the emerging field of learning-augmented algorithms
- Active contributor to the competitive programming community as both researcher and practitioner
Dr. Chen is deeply involved in Competitive Programming activities, having competed in ICPC World Finals 2018 (Beijing) and 2022 (Egypt), winning regional champion titles and several gold medals. He serves as chief judge for multiple ICPC Asia regionals and coaches training camps including the North American Programming Camp (NAPC). He is also the founder and co-president of the Universal Cup, an international competitive programming contest platform. Currently, he is recruiting highly motivated PhD students with strong backgrounds in competitive programming and interest in research, collaborating with Prof. Chenhao Ma on algorithm design projects.
