Born in Nanjing, China, Lin Chen received his B. Sc. degree in Radio Engineering in 2002 from Southeast University, Nanjing, China, his M. Sc. in Networking in 2005 from University of Paris 6, his engineer and Ph. D. degree in Computer Science and Networking in 2005 and 2008 from Telecom ParisTech, Paris, and the Habilitation in 2017 from University of Paris-Sud. From 2009 to 2019, he was an associate professor at University of Paris-Sud. From 2019 to 2025, he was a professor at Sun Yat-sen University. Since 2025, he has been a professor at Macao Polytechnic University. He worked as a Postdoc Researcher at Telecom ParisTech during 2008-2009 and a visiting researcher at NICTA in 2008. He was a member of the Institut Universitaire de France (class 2018) and received the CNRS Bronze Medal in 2018.
