Jun Chen
Dr. Jun Chen is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Bioengineering at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering. His research focuses on nanotechnology and bioelectronics for energy, sensing, and therapeutic applications in the form of smart textiles, wearables, and body-area networks.
With a current h-index of 105, he was identified to be one of the world's most influential researchers in the field of materials science in Web of Science. He has published two books, two book chapters, and 270 journal articles, with 170 of them being the corresponding authors in Chemical Reviews(2), Chemical Society Reviews(2), Nature Materials(2), Nature Electronics(4), Nature Biomedical Engineering, Nature Communications(5), Science Advances(2), Joule(3), Matter(10), Advanced Materials(12), ACS Nano(15) , and many others. His works have been highlighted by Nature and Science 7 times and covered by global mainstream media more than 1,200 times, including CNN, ABC, NBC, NPR, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, and Scientific American. He has filed 14 U.S. patents, including one licensed.
Among his many accolades are the V. M. Watanabe Excellence in Research Award, UCLA Faculty Mentor Award, UCLA Society of Hellman Fellows Award, Advanced Materials Rising Star, Materials Today Rising Star Award, ACS Nano Rising Stars Lectureship Award, Chem. Soc. Rev. Emerging Investigator Award, Nano Research Young Innovator Award, Georgia Tech Alumni 40 Under 40, Shu Chien Early Career Award, ONR Young Investigator Award, AHA Innovative Project Award, AHA Transformational Project Award, AHA's Second Century Early Faculty Independence Award, NIH UCLA CTSI KL2 Translational Science Award, BBRF Young Investigator Award, ACS PMSE Young Investigator Award, Okawa Foundation Research Award, Highly Cited Researchers 2019/2020/2021/2022 in Web of Science, among others.
Beyond research, he is associate editors of Biosensors and Bioelectronics, Med-X, VIEW Medicine, FlexMat, and Textiles.
