Chen Wang

Senior Research Software Engineer, National Center for Supercomputing Applications, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

I build software for science: science gateways, research applications, data platforms, and AI/ML pipelines, spanning medical imaging, biotechnology, climate, natural hazard resilience, public health, and social media research. I am a former atmospheric science researcher, and I am still the happiest at the intersection of interdisciplinary science and code. Alongside this, I have grown a genuine passion for technical project management, backed by hands on experience putting it into practice. What drives me most is helping interdisciplinary science teams navigate complexity and reach their goals.
