Welcome
My name is Jie Chen (陈杰). I’m now an associate professor at School of Oceanography, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Before that, I was a postdoc at Laboratoire de Géologie, Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS), PSL University as a part of MUSH-OCEAN ANR project (2024-2025) and Marine Geosciences, Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP), Universitè Paris Cité (2022-2024).
I use geomorphological (bathymetry, sidescan, and seafloor imagery), geophysical (gravity, magnetic, and seismicity) and numerical approaches to investigating seafloor spreading processes at the mid-ocean ridges. Recently, I focus on submarine mass wasting using high-resolution bathymetry collected by Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) and magma convection of fast-spreading ridges using numerical modelling.
Our group is looking for excellent postdocs/students. Please contact me If you are interested in subjects below or beyond: Recruitment.pdf
