Bio: Xingran Chen is a postdoctoral researcher at Rutgers University (Jan. 2025 - Apr. 2026). He is also an Assistant Professor (currently on leave) at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (Sep. 2023 - present). He earned his B.S. in Statistics (2015) from Central South University, followed by an M.A. in Applied Mathematics and Computational Science (2018) and a Ph.D. in Electrical and Systems Engineering (2023) from the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Chen's research focuses on learning, information processing and transfer, and security in decentralized networked systems. He received the IEEE Communications Society & Information Theory Society Joint Paper Award in 2023. Dr. Chen is a member of IEEE. He has served the research community through editorial and conference service, including a Guest Editor for China Communications in 2024 and Entropy in 2025, and as a Technical Program Committee Member for WiOpt 2026, IEEE ICC 2024, and IEEE GLOBECOM 2020 Workshop 7. His research is supported by NSF of China and Ministry of Education of China.
