Jacqueline H. Chen received  her bachelors degree from Ohio State University (1981), her masters degree in Mechanical Engineering from University of California at Berkeley (1982), and her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University (1989).  She joined Sandia in 1981 as a member of technical staff in the applied mechanics department, and following a leave to complete her Ph.D. at Stanford on a Sandia Doctoral Study Program (DSP) fellowship in 1986, returned to join the Combustion Research Facility in 1990.  She received the Sandia Employee Recognition Award for Technical Excellence in 1998, was appointed to adjunct associate professor of Mechanical Engineering at the U. Utah in 2001, and promoted to Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Sandia in 2002.  She is a director on the Board of Directors of the Combustion Institute, term 2007-2013.  She was the Co-editor of Proceedings of the Combustion Institute, Volumes 29 and 30, and is a member of the Editorial Advisory Boards of Combustion and Flame, Computational Science and Discovery, Progress in Energy and Combustion, and SciDAC Review.  She received the DOE INCITE Award in 2005 and 2007 and the DOE Office of Science Leadership Computing Facility Award in 2006.  She has contributed to research in terascale simulations of turbulent combustion focusing on turbulence-chemistry interactions in combustion.  She has worked closely with computer scientists on time-varying visualization of terascale simulated data, topology of combustion features, and parallel feature detection and tracking algorithms for combustion.
