Ying-Chen Chen
Assistant Professor, School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering
Daphne Chen is an Assistant Professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU), Tempe. She received her Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin, and her B.S. and M.S. degrees from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), Taiwan. Prior to joining ASU, she served as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Northern Arizona University. She also held industry positions as an R&D Pathfinding Emerging Memory Engineer at Micron Technology and as a hardware developer at IBM, where she worked on emerging memory technologies and advanced computing applications. Her research focuses on emerging electronic devices, device physics, fabrication, characterization, and energy-efficient computing systems. She is the recipient of the 2019 Sandia National Laboratories Research Award and was selected as a Rising Star in EECS in 2017. Her work has been supported by NASA, the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR), and multiple industry partners, including Micron Technology and Tokyo Electron.Dr. Chen has authored and co-authored over 80 peer-reviewed journal and conference publications, as well as three book chapters. She serves on the technical program committees of the Device Research Conference (DRC), the Semiconductor Interface Specialists Conference (SISC), and the Electron Devices Technology and Manufacturing (EDTM) conference.
Ready to mentor
In the rising of artificial intelligence (AI), the new computing configurations on the basis of non-volatile memory attracts considerable attentions to create the new computing paradigms. Among the emerging memories, resistive memory attracts a great number of attentions and has been a great candidate because of its simple design, fast operation, excellent scalability, and high-power efficiency. This research group is focusing on semiconductor memory and transistors for post-CMOS era.
