Yanjun Chen is a Distinguished Associate Professor of the School of Geosciences and Info-physics, Central South University, and a supervisor of Master's Candidates. He received his B.S. degree in geophysics from the Department of Applied Geophysics, Central South University, in 2019. In the same year, he was recommended to become a Ph.D. candidate in the State Key Laboratory of Photonics and Communications, School of Electronics, Peking University (formerly the State Key Laboratory of Advanced Optical Communication Systems and Networks, Department of Electronics, School of Electronics Engineering and Computer Science). He received his Ph.D. degree in 2024.

His research interests include geophysical fiber-optic sensors (such as fiber-optic angular velocity/angular acceleration sensors, fiber-optic vibration sensors, fiber-optic gravity sensors, etc.), their signal processing (such as rotational seismology, high-speed-railway seismology, geodesy, underground north finding, etc.), as well as the mechanisms and suppression of noise in fiber-optic interferometers. He has given 16 oral presentations at academic conferences and has served as a session president three times. He has been invited to serve as a Guest Editor for Photonics and reviewed for 20 journals. He is a Early Career Editorial Board Member of Earth and Geosciences. He is the principal investigator of 4 funds, including the National Natural Science Foundation of China, Sub-Project of National Science and Technology Major Project, and Special Fund of State Key Laboratory; and has also participated in 10 funds, including the National Key Research and Development Program of China, the key project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the joint key project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China. He is a professional committee member of the Ocean Geophysics Branch of the Chinese Geophysical Society, a life member of the Chinese Geophysical Society, and a member of the European Geosciences Union, IEEE, the Chinese Institute of Electronics, and the Nonferrous Metals Society of China. He is a recipient of the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society Best Dissertation Award, Sensors 2024 Travel Award, and two excellent paper awards at academic conferences. He has published three book chapters, 36 journal papers, 23 conference papers and holds 16 patents. A paper published in Applied Physics Letters has been chosen as an Editor's Pick, and was selected by the American Institute of Physics for a Scilight article to showcase the work.
