Introduction
Jie Chen is a professor at Augusta University who specializes in statisticalchange point analysis which is applicable in many fields such as industrial qualitymanagement, climatology,  economics  and  finance,  medicine,  genetics,  etc. In1985, she finished her bachelor’s degree in applied mathematics at ChongqingUniversity. She later  went  on  to  acquire  her  master’s  in  applied  statistics  atthe University of Akron. In 1995, she acquired her phD in statistics at BowlingGreen State University. She is currently under the department of populationhealth sciences in the Medical College of Georgia of Augusta University.[1]

Academic Positions
Jie Chen has held many positions which includes teaching in graduate anddoctoral level statistics in regression analysis, applied statistical analysis, multi-variate analysis, theory of linear model, clustering analysis, statistical genetics,biostatistics and statistical change point analysis. She has done extensive re-search in  the  area  of  statistical  change  point  analysis  and  has  co-authored  aresearch paper on change point analysis which was published by Birkhauser in2000. Other notable mentions is her research projects in modeling microarraydata for the studies of hematopoietic stem cell differentiation and proliferation,patterns of periodicity in transcriptional programs of mouse somitogenesis, theyeast histone variant, and the gene expression profile of tissues from childrenwith  heart  diseases,  to  just  name  a  few. She has  developed  methodology  formodeling array Comparative Genomic Hybridization data (aCGH) in the effortof identifying DNA copy number variants (CNVs) in tumor and cancer cell lines,and is currently working on developing algorithms for detecting CNVs in cancerand tumor cell lines using the next generation sequencing data, modeling DNAmethylation data, and RNA-seq data.[1]
