Chen Chen, Ph.D.
Overview
Dr. Chen Chen is an assistant professor in Fire and Emergency Management at CEAT. Before joining Oklahoma State University, he was an ORISE Postdoctoral Research Fellow for the US Army Corps of Engineers, researching emergency evacuation and risk communication. He received his Ph.D. in Transportation Engineering at Oregon State University and was also a research associate and lecturer at Oregon State University.
Research
Dr. Chen conducts research in the areas of infrastructure resilience, disasters, transportation safety, and mobility. Specifically, Chen is interested in the consideration of human decisions and behavior in complex systems for emergency preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery. He leverages interdisciplinary studies with people from psychology, public policy, computer science, and engineering to advance our understanding of how to make our society safe, sustainable, and resilient.
