Biography

Chung-Lung “C.L.” Chen is professor emeritus in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Missouri. In his career, he has led a wide range of paradigm-shift programs in thermal management, flow control, micro/nano technology, multidisciplinary computational technology and fluid/structure/acoustics. Chen’s research has been funded by multiple offices within the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, NASA, NSF, the Army Research Office, the Office of Naval Research, the National Reconnaissance Office, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Rockwell Automation, Rockwell Collins, the Boeing Co., Kimberly Clark, RTI International, MOST, CSIST and Industrial Technology Research Institute. He worked at the NASA Ames Research Center on computational aerodynamics and helicopter rotor flows from 1985 to 1988. He is an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and has authored or co-authored more than 160 technical papers, 11 U.S. patents and one book chapter. He received National Chung Kung University’s DAA Distinguished Alumnus Award in 2011 and the Best Paper Award of ASME 2013 Micro/Nanoscale Heat & Mass Transfer International Conference.
