Dr. Chen joined the UMKC faculty in Fall 1995. In 2001 she was a Faculty Honoree at the UMKC Convocation and Awards Ceremony, and in 2004 was honored at the Activity & Program Council's UMKC Faculty and Staff Appreciation Day, having been nominated by students she teaches, advises, or mentors.

Dr. Chen does research in statistical change point analysis and has published a research monograph on this subject. From 1996 to 2004 she also acted as a statistical consultant for 5 local law firms, providing statistical analyses in 10 cases. In addition to change point analysis, her research interests also include genomic data analysis and distribution theory that characterizes gene expression data. She was recently funded by a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant for an interdisciplinary project entitled "Statistical Approaches to the Analysis of Genome-wide Measurements: Significance of Periodic Gene Expression and Correlations of Gene Content in Completely Sequenced Genomes." She continues to conduct research in statistical modeling of genomic data.
