1966 graduated from Fudan university. 1989 was awarded the title of "Young and middle-aged scientific and technological expert with outstanding contributions" by the Ministry of Light Industry; 199 1 year was promoted to professor, and he began to enjoy the special government allowance of the State Council from that year; 1994 was approved as a doctoral supervisor. Academician Chen has long been engaged in scientific research and teaching of light industry technology and engineering. Its research direction in food field includes food rheology and modern extraction and separation technology; In the field of environment, there are wastewater treatment technology and high-value utilization technology of plant resources; In the field of chemical industry, there are the synthesis and application of special surfactants for light industry, especially papermaking; In the field of papermaking, there are clean bleaching technology of medium and high consistency pulp, papermaking technology, coating and coating technology, key technology of high-speed paper machine, rheology of fiber suspension and so on. He presided over the completion of nearly 20 national and provincial key scientific and technological projects and achieved important results. In order to solve the "resource and environment" bottleneck problem of light industry in China, unremitting efforts have been made in the promotion and research and development of high and new technologies such as energy saving, consumption reduction, emission reduction and cleaner production, and great achievements have been made with originality and practicality, which has made outstanding contributions to cleaner production of light industry in China.
Academician Chen has successively won nearly ten national, provincial and ministerial science and technology awards, including the second prize of national technological invention, the third prize of national scientific and technological progress, the first prize of scientific and technological progress of the Ministry of Education and the first prize of scientific and technological progress of Guangdong Province. Published 265 scientific papers, of which more than 60 were included by SCI and EI. The main academic monographs published are: food rheology and measurement, liquid viscosity and measurement, pulp conveying and conveying machinery, pulp hydrodynamics in wet end of paper machine, medium and high consistency pulping technology and equipment, pulping and papermaking machinery and equipment, theory and practice of medium and high consistency pulping and papermaking technology, etc. And edited the key textbook "Pulp and Paper Machinery and Equipment in Colleges and Universities" (Volumes I and II) and applied for nearly 30 invention patents, including 13. One of the chief researchers of General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, deputy director of China National Food Safety Standards Review Committee, deputy director of China National Food Safety Risk Assessment Expert Committee, young and middle-aged experts with outstanding contributions at the national level, experts enjoying special allowances from the State Council, outstanding experts from Hebei Province, and senior experts from the International Association of Public Chemists (AOAC). Committed to the theoretical and practical research of food science detection technology, carried out pioneering research in the field of trace analysis technology of chemical pollutants such as pesticides, and studied new technologies and methods for rapid detection of multi-residues with high sensitivity, high selectivity and high resolution; There are many innovations in studying new sample preparation techniques and methods, such as new extraction, separation and enrichment methods. Significant achievements have been made in standardization and engineering of detection technology, and 139 national technical standards and 2 international AOAC standards have been established, which have improved the quality of related products and promoted the development of related industries and scientific and technological progress. He won the second prize of national science and technology progress three times, the first prize of provincial science and technology progress four times and the international AOAC science and technology award five times. There are 6 books (8 million words) and more than 80 papers (including 26 SCI papers). A high-level scientific research team has been trained, including two national experts in the "100 million talents project in the new century", four professor-level researchers and five experts enjoying special government subsidies.
