I am Zheng Chen (陈峥), a specially appointed assistant professor at ISIR, Osaka University, in Sakurai&Matsubara Group. I received my M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from NAIST, advised by Prof. Hirokazu Kato and Prof. Shigehiko Kanaya in October 2019 and March 2022, respectively. I have a deep-rooted interest in data representation, knowledge-based modeling, and bioinformatics. My research aims to explore a reliable form of automated biomedical systems designed on top of prior knowledge and practical considerations. I specifically focus on EEG and network biology.

Publications can be found here.
