Chen Jiang was born in Xiaogan, China, a city which is famous for and also named after the traditional Chinese culture "filial piety" (a virtue of respect for one's father, elders, and ancestors).
Chen received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degree in Microelectronics from Fudan University, China, in 2010 and 2013, respectively, the M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA, in 2016. He is currently working towards his Ph.D. degree at Cornell University.
From 2009 to 2013, Chen was a student reserach assistant in the Integrated Circuit Design Lab (ICD) at Fudan University, Shanghai, China and worked on radio frequency circuits and systems design. His master degree thesis is entitled "Research and design of all-digital frequency synthesizers". In 2013, he joined the Ultra-high-speed Nonlinear Integrated Circuits Lab (UNIC) at Cornell University as a research assistant, and his research topic is terahertz electronics for imaging, sensing and communication applications. From summer of 2016, he is also a visiting research assistant at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. During summer of 2017, he works at Qualcomm on research and implementation of low-cost high-performance radio-frequency digital-to-analog converters (RF-DACs).
He is currently a student member of the IEEE, a member of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) and the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Sociaty (MTT-S). He is also a reviewer for the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Express Briefs, the IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters and the IEEE Microwave Magazine. He was the recipient of Irwin and Joan Jacobs Fellowship, Cornell University, in 2013, the Sporck Analog Design Fellowship, Cornell University, in 2014, the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society Predoctoral Achievement Award in 2016 and the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society Graduate Fellowship in 2017.
Outside work, Chen enjoys spending time on running, swimming, basketball and computer/video games.
