Summary
Yun-chih Chen is an Assistant Professor and systems-focused researcher with 11 years of hands-on experience spanning Linux/FreeBSD system administration, kernel and system software development, and production-grade service engineering. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science and has led research projects while mentoring multiple master’s and Ph.D. students, bridging academic rigor with practical deployment. His background includes running a 17-person sysadmin team and bootstrapping university-wide services (video streaming, container platforms, monitoring) as well as contributing to open source and Linux kernel work. International collaborations with TU Dortmund and NUS complement his strong communication skills and make him comfortable operating across multicultural research teams. Less obvious: he pairs low-level systems expertise (C, kernel work) with higher-level automation and tooling (Go, Python, Ansible) to both diagnose subtle performance anomalies and standardize scalable cluster operations.
