Dr. LYU, Chen (often spelled as Chen Lv) is an Associate Professor at School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Nanyang Technological University. He also holds a joint appointment with School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. He is Director of Automated Driving and Human-Machine System (AutoMan) Research Lab, Cluster Director in Future Mobility Solutions at ERI@N, the Thrust Lead in Smart Mobility and Delivery at Continental-NTU Corp Lab, and the Program Lead in Next Generation AMR, Schaeffler-NTU Joint Lab. He received his Ph.D. degree from Department of Automotive Engineering, Tsinghua University, China in 2016, with a joint PhD from EECS Dept., University of California, Berkeley, USA. Before joining NTU as a Nanyang Assistant Professor in June 2018, he was a Research Fellow at Advanced Vehicle Engineering Center, Cranfield University, UK during 2016-2018. His research focuses on autonomous driving, human-machine collaboration, robotics, and CPS, where he has contributed 4 books, over 100 papers, and 12 granted patents.

He serves as Associate Editor for many top tier journals, including IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, and IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Vehicles, etc. He is elected as IEEE VTS Motor Vehicles Committee Member, the only delegate from Asia. He has received many honors and awards, selectively: SAE Ralph R. Teetor Educational Award (2023), Nanyang Research Award (Young Investigator) 2022, the Machines Young Investigator Award (2021), winner of Waymo Open Dataset Challenge (2022 and 2021), winner of IEEE VTS Motor Vehicles Challenge (2022), EVS’34 Excellent Paper Award (2021), Automotive Innovation Best Paper Award (2020) and IEEE Intelligent Vehicle Symposium Best Paper Award (2018).
