Lei Chen,

Sr. Researcher

I am currently a senior researcher at Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE) and focus on ICT solutions for vehicles and transport.

I received the B.E. and M.E. degrees in communication engineering from Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an, China, in 2004 and 2007, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in infra- informatics from Linköping University, Linköping, Sweden, in 2013. My research interests include mathematical modeling, integer linear optimization, cellular networks, vehicular communications, etc. My current research topics focus on cooperative intelligent transport systems, where he investigates communication technologies (dedicated short-range communication, cellular networks, etc.) and cloud-based services for cooperative and automated transport systems to improve traffic safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
