Assistant Professor, Department of Biomechatronics Engineering, National Taiwan University

Research expertise: 

Precision Agriculture, Image Processing, Application of Vibrational Spectroscopy, Chemometrics, Multivariate Analysis, Flavor and Aroma Analysis

Dr. Chen's research interests focus on applying data science methods to image processing and spectral analysis. Specific research topics include: (1) Development of on-field image recognition tools for crop/fruit growth monitoring and harvesting, pest/disease identification, and navigation aid systems. (2) Development of qualitative and quantitative models for quality and safety determination of agricultural products. Vibrational spectroscopies (e.g., near-infrared, Fourier transform infrared, and Raman spectroscopy) are applied to perform a rapid composition analysis, pesticide residue detection, origin discrimination, and flavor/odor prediction using multivariate analysis or machine/deep learning methods.
