Min Chen received his Bachelor degree from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2002. Later he received PhD degree from Institute of Physics, Beijing, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 2007. From 2007 to 2009 he worked as an Alexander von Humboldt postdoctoral research fellow in Heinrich Heine Universitaet, Duesseldorf, Germany. After that he joined LOASIS program at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) as a postdoctoral research fellow. From 2012, he joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University as a Distinguished Research Fellow and then was promoted to professor position in 2018.

His main research interests are theoretical and experimental studies on laser plasma based particle accelerator and radiation source including laser wakefield accelerator, laser solid ion acceleration and radiation sources from laser plasma interaction. Currently his main interest is focused on experimental studies on staged laser wakefield acceleration and theoretical investigation of x-ray laser plasma interaction.

Since 2006 he has coauthored more than 150 peer-reviewed scientific research papers Among them for 59 papers he is the first or corresponding author. In 2019 he was awarded the DPP Young Researcher Award by Division of Plasma Physics, AAPPS for his original contributions on ionization injection and stage coupling for laser plasma wakefield acceleration towards high quality and high energy electron beams and tunable x-ray sources. He has been editorial board/junior members for several scientific journals, such as Scientific Reports, Chinese Physics letters, Chinese Physics B, High Power Laser and Particle Beams.

Research Interests:

1. Laser plasma interaction

2. laser plasma wakefield acceleration

3. laser plasma based radiation source

4. plasma theory and simulation

作为负责人现主持承担国家自然科学基金重大项目、杰出青年项目各一项。已结题国家自然科学基金青年项目、面上项目、863课题及上海浦江人才项目多项。

主要研究方向简介：

1、激光加速和辐射：利用超短超强激光在等离子中激发出尾波，可以提供高于传统加速器1000倍的强大加速梯度。激光尾波加速被认为是加速技术的革命性突破，有望成为下一代对撞机和桌面型辐射源的加速方案，也是2018年CPA技术获得诺贝尔物理奖的原因之一。实验已经证明在20厘米长度内，可以将电子从静止加速到8GeV能量。在本课题中，我们将重点开展尾波级联加速方案的理论和实验研究，以及少周期激光脉冲驱动的尾波激发理论及其对电子加速的性质。

2、强场QED等离子体物理：面向新一代的激光强度（10²³~²⁶W/cm²） ，人类可以探索的物质世界进入了一个前所未有的极端强场领域，激光等离子体物理将扩展到激光真空作用物理。研究极端相对论光强下光与物质的相互作用：包括电子在光场中的康普顿散射、辐射阻尼、自旋极化效应、正负电子对产生将是本课题研究的主要内容。
