BioPo-Han Chen is an EE Ph.D. student at Stanford University supervised by Prof. Priyanka Raina. He received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and M.S. in Electrical Engineering from National Tsing Hua University (Taiwan) in 2016 and 2018 respectively. Before joining Stanford, he was a digital circuit designer at MediaTek where he worked on developing hardware architectures of image processing pipeline. He is interested in designing hardware accelerators. Most of his previous works were related to computational photography algorithms such as digital refocusing. Currently, He is focusing on analyzing and designing architecture of CGRAs to create high-performance, energy-efficient, and reconfigurable computing platforms.

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on understanding the plasticity in pain-modulating circuits in pathological pain states. I started with defining a basic functional framework that links the pain-transmission system to the pain-modulation system, through which I explored the central mechanism of sensitization in chronic pain after a peripheral injury. Based on this fundamental observation, my work now focuses on investigating the pathophysiology and the role of endogenous opioids in chronic pain related to brain injury and other forms of trauma, a topic especially relevant to chronic post-traumatic pain sufferers. Clinically, I am exploring the use of advance image-guidance in pain interventions for treating complex headache and craniofacial pain. Ultimately, I hope to translate these fundamental knowledge and technologies to patient care and provide potential new therapeutic targets to help those with pain after head injury and polytrauma.
