Fang Chen is a tenured Associate Professor of the School of Biomedical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. She obtained her Ph.D. from Tsinghua University in 2018 and joined the Shanghai Jiao Tong University in early 2024. She is dedicated to interdisciplinary research in intelligent surgical navigation and precision diagnosis and treatment. In recent years, she has published over 70 papers in top-tier international academic journals and conferences in the field of biomedical engineering and medicine, including IEEE Trans. Med. Imaging, IEEE Trans. Bio-Med Eng, and MICCAI. She holds nearly 20 authorized patents in China. Under her guidance, students won the first prize in the main track of the 18th "Challenge Cup" National College Student Extracurricular Academic Science and Technology Works Competition in 2023. She has been awarded the first prize at the 14th National Youth Science and Technology Forum in Medicine and Health, the Contribution Award at the 18th Asian Conference on Computer-Assisted Surgery (ACCAS 2022), and the Excellent Ph.D. Thesis Award from the Chinese Society of Image and Graphics. She was also selected to IFMBE-Asian Pacific Young Investigators Research Program. As a principal investigator, she has led 15 projects including those funded by the National Natural Science Foundation, and she holds various positions such as Secretary-General of the Asian Society of Computer-Assisted Surgery (ASCAS), Secretary of the Academic Committee of the Tenth Council of the Chinese Society of Biomedical Engineering, and member of the Smart Healthcare Committee of the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence. Additionally, she serves as Associate Editor for the journal of Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics, and as an editorial board member for the journal of iLIVER.
