Yuan Chen is a senior research scientist in the
Sustainable Ecosystem Research group (SERg) at
HP Labs in Palo Alto, CA.. Yuan's research
area is energy efficient computing with a focus on performance and power
modeling of services and applications in data centers, and control and
optimization of data center workload and resource management. His most recent
work is developing an integrated management of the IT, cooling, and power supply
subsystems to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the cost and
environmental footprint of data centers. Yuan's past work includes automated IT
management, enterprise systems monitoring, content-based publish-subscribe
systems, Internet storage systems, high performance computing, parallel data
mining algorithms, and constraint programming.
Yuan has published over 40 technical papers in peer-reviewed journals and
conferences proceedings, including the Best Paper Award of International Green
Computing Conference (IGCC 2011) and the Best Paper Award of IEEE/IFIP Network
Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2008). He has one patent granted and
over 20 patent applications pending. Yuan has served on Technical Program
Committee and been reviewers for numerous IEEE and ACM journals and conferences.
He was the organizer and co-chair of
the 2008 Sustainability Innovation Workshop, 2008.
Yuan received a B.S. from
University of Science and Technology of China, a M.S. from
Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a
Ph.D. from Georgia Institute of Technology,
all in Computer Science.
