Dr. Yue Chen is currently a Vice-Chancellor Assistant Professor with the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering, the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Prior to joining CUHK, she received her B.E. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Tsinghua University in 2015 and 2020, respectively, and her B.S. degree in economics from Peking University in 2017. In addition, she received the National Legal Professional Qualification Certificate issued by the Ministry of Justice of PR China in 2019. She is a recipient of multiple awards, including the Outstanding Graduate Award of Tsinghua and Beijing Area, the Excellent Ph.D. Thesis Award, Stanford Bits & Watts Postdoc Fellowship, and the Best Reviewer Award of many international journals.

Her research interests include control and optimization theory, with applications in smart grids and cyber-physical-social systems. She now serves as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, IEEE Power Engineering Letters, IET Renewable Power Generation, etc. She is also the Hong Kong Chapter Representative of IEEE PES Women in Power.
