Dr. Qinyu Chen has been an assistant professor in the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS) at Leiden University, The Netherlands, since February 2024. She earned her PhD in Electronic Science and Technology from Nanjing University in June 2021. From 2019 to 2020, she was a visiting PhD student, and from 2022 to 2024, a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Neuroinformatics, University of Zurich, and ETH Zurich.

Her interdisciplinary research combines neuroscience, computer science, and electronics to develop compact, energy-efficient, neuro-inspired intelligent hardware/software systems for applications in healthcare, extended reality, and generative AI, etc. Her work has been recognized with honors such as the 2022 BRIDGE fellowship from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), a nomination by SNSF to AcademiaNet (an expert database of outstanding women academics), and the Best Paper Award Honorable Mention from the IEEE Neural Systems and Applications Technical Committee (NSATC) in 2024.

She actively contributes to professional societies, serving as a technical committee member of professional societies such as IEEE NSATC since 2022, the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) AI for Streaming Workshop (2024), IEEE Standards Workshop on AI for Healthcare (2024), the Neuro-Inspired Computational Elements (NICE) Conference (2025), and the CVPR Event-based Vision Workshop (2025). Additionally, she served as a track chair and session chair for the IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS) (2024, 2025).
