Chen was awarded the title of Distinguished Fellow by INFORMS last year for her scholarly contributions, intellectual leadership through editorial appointments, mentorship of doctoral students and young researchers, and publications related to theory, research, and practice in the information systems community. The award is considered one of the highest honors in the field.
As the founding director and co-director of W. P. Carey's Center for AI and Data Analytics (AIDA) for Business and Society, aka the Mindful AI center, Chen is dedicated to research and work that betters our lives, society, and the world through responsible innovation and mindfully applying AI and data analytics. The center proactively prepares for the evolving landscape of AI and advanced data analytics tools by collaborating with students, academics, and business leaders to assist organizations in using AI ethically, researching ways to mindfully adopt new technologies, addressing talent needs in the industry, educating organizational leaders on mindful AI, and more.
