His distinguished career spans innovative work in multimedia/AI algorithms, Internet of Things, and CPU & GPU design. He has more than 100 patents and more than 100 technical publications. He is one of the key contributors to Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extension 3 and Advanced Vector Extension in billions of Intel microprocessors.

Dr. Chen has actively contributed to the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS). From 2018 to 2021, he served as a Board of Governors member of CASS. In 2020 and 2021, he held the position of Vice President of Technical Activities (VP-TA) of CASS. In 2021, as VP-TA, he played a pivotal role in establishing the Standard Activities Sub-Division of CASS. He served as the founding chair of the Special Interest Group (SIG) on IoT of CASS from 2017 to 2021, and Chair of the Multimedia Systems and Applications (MSA) Technical Committee (TC) of CASS from 2012 to 2013.

In the realm of publications, from 2016 to 2017, he served as the Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of IEEE Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems (JETCAS). Furthermore, he has served on the editorial boards of IEEE journals such as IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I (TCAS-I), IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology (TCSVT), IEEE Transactions on Multimedia (TMM), JETCAS, and IEEE Signal Processing Magazine. He received the TCSVT Best Associate Editor awards twice from different EICs.

In the realm of conferences, he has served as a program committee member for over 50 international conferences, covering a wide range of topics, including Internet of Things, multimedia, video communication, image processing, VLSI circuits and systems, parallel processing, and software optimization. In 2023, he served as a Technical Program Committee (TPC) co-chair for IEEE AICAS. He chaired the theme track on Internet of Video Things (IoVT) at the IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS) in 2016 and served as the chair of the Circuits and Systems Society Forum on Emerging and Selected Topics (CAS-FEST) at ISCAS in 2013.

In the realm of outreach and knowledge dissemination, he served as a Distinguished Lecturer (DL) of CASS in 2016-2017 and again in 2023-2024. He has delivered keynote speeches at numerous conferences, including AICAS 2021. Additionally, he has shared his expertise through tutorials presented at IEEE conferences, including VCIP 2012 & 2011, ISCAS 2012 & 2009, and ICME 2010 & 2007.

In the realm of fostering industry-academia collaboration, he initiated the IEEE CASS-Silicon Valley AI for Industry Forums in 2018 and IEEE CASS-Shanghai AI for Industry Forums in 2019, which later transformed into the CAS Emerging and Selected Topic Industry Forums (CASIF).

He is an IEEE Fellow for his contributions to algorithm-architecture co-design for multimedia signal processing.
