Chen's research spans statistical methodology, including non-parametric modeling, longitudinal data analysis, high-dimensional regression, and mixed models, applied to health domains such as sleep health, kidney disease, cardiovascular diseases, and health economics. His publications highlight collaborations with multidisciplinary teams in sleep science and epidemiology.

His recent work explores high-dimensional nuisance parameters in generalized linear models, log-concave density estimation in proportional odds models, and trajectory analysis for sleep patterns and chronic disease progression. These studies bridge theoretical statistics with real-world health data challenges.
