Feiyan Chen PhD

Assistant Professor

Feiyan Chen has been working in XJTLU since September 2016. She has received her Ph. D. degree from Jiangnan University in 2017.Her main research area is system identification. Identification, then, is to select that model in the model set that describes the data best, according to the criterion. She has been interested in optimization algorithms for complex nonlinear systems in recent years. And She has published some SCI papers in renowned journals including Nonlinear Dynamics, Journal of the Franklin Institute, Applied Mathematical Modelling, Mathematics and Computers in Simulation, etc.
