Liu Chen (physicist)
Liu Chen (; born February 4, 1946) is a Taiwanese-American theoretical physicist who has made original contributions to many aspects of
plasma physics. He is known for the discoveries of
kinetic Alfven waves, toroidal Alfven eigenmodes, and energetic particle modes; the theories of geomagnetic pulsations, Alfven wave heating, and fishbone oscillations, and the first formulation of nonlinear
gyrokinetic equations. Chen retired from
University of California, Irvine (UCI) in 2012, assuming the title professor emeritus of physics and astronomy.
