Zhiang Chen is a Postdoc at the Seismological Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology. He conducts research in automated geoscience. Automated geoscience is the practice of geoscientific research that utilizes robotics to automate data collection and machine learning to automate data processing such that geoscientists are released from labor-extensive activities to focus on high-level cognitive tasks, including scientific observation, hypothesis development, and experiment design.
