Haibiao Chen is a professor and materials scientist with eight years of post-PhD academic and research experience and a two-decade track record bridging materials engineering, catalyst development, and automation. He has held roles from development engineer and materials scientist in industry to research professor and current faculty at Shenzhen Polytechnic, applying sol-gel, self-assembly and microreactor expertise to practical systems. Recently he has extended his technical reach into computational tools, contributing to the SpikingJelly spiking neural network framework by improving its simulator and documentation to make fast simulation options more usable and explainable. Based in Shenzhen with degrees from Tsinghua and a PhD from Stevens Institute of Technology, he combines deep experimental know-how with hands-on software contribution—an unusual cross-disciplinary mix that helps translate materials research into automated, simulation-driven solutions.
