Graduated in December 2004

Harry Chen is a Senior Application Engineer at a Silicon Valley startup, working on exciting new technology that will change the way people use the internet.

He holds a computer science PhD. degree from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). He was awarded a PhD fellowship from HP Labs for his work on intelligent agents in mobile and pervasive computing.

His research interests include artificial intelligence, mobile computing and the web information systems. During his tenure as a Computer Scientist/Senior Software Engineer at Image Matters LLC. He developed gnizr, an open source project that explores the use of Semantic Web technology and folksonomy in social bookmarking.

Dr. Chen taught Social Web Technologies at UMBC. He is a founding member of the UMBC eBiquity Research Group and the eBiquity Blog (previously known as ebiquity.org). He enjoys blogging and traveling. His recent blogging adventure includes the Geospatial Semantic Web Blog, and Harry Chen’s Mobile Blog.
