Professor Phoebe Chen hosts the ARC Centre of Excellence in Bioinformatics from 2008 - present and ARC Centre in Bioinformatics from 2003 to 2007. Prof Phoebe is a senior visiting professor of Fudan University Shanghai China, adjunct professor of National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, adjunct professor of National Taiwan Ocean University and adjunct professor of Guangxi University. Phoebe is a senior member of IEEE, member of ACM. Phoebe finished her Bachelor of Information Technology degree in School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering of the University of Queensland (UQ), in Brisbane, Australia. After that she finished Honours (First Class) in Information Technology in UQ. Phoebe received her Ph.D. degree in the area of Computer Science (Bioinformatics) in University of Queensland. Phoebe also finished Graduate Certificate in Higher Education from Queensland University of Technology (QUT). Phoebe has been awarded 23 research grants around 8 millions (include 12 prestigious Australia Research Council (ARC) Grants) so far. Recently, Phoebe just received one ARC Centre of Excellence in Bioinformatics as project leader and chief investigator from 2008-2010, ARC Discovery - Exploiting Database Technologies for the Visualization and Analysis of Measured and Simulated Plant Structures in Bioinformatics as a sole Chief Investigator (CI) and one ARC Linkage-International - Development of Knowledge Discovery for High Dimensional Biomedical Data 2004 round and from 2005-2007. Phoebe is also the Principal Chief Investigator (CI) and Project Leader for an ARC large Discovery Grant (Previous ARC Large) on Integrating Database Technologies and Visual Analysis in Bioinformatics for Genome Data. Phoebe is also CI and QUT Manager of an ARC Large Linkage-Infrastructure grant on Computational infrastructure for high-throughput genome bioinformatics. She is a sole CI of ARC Linkage Project Grant on Design and Development of a Web-based Intelligent Multimedia Mining System. She is also a CI of successful ARC Centre in Bioinformatics. Prof. Chen is also three ARC Network Seeding Grants CIs. Most of them are in Bioinformatics and Multimedia field. Phoebe published widely and has presented her research at various international and national conferences. Phoebe have published more than 170 refereed publications (9 published/accepted in 2012, 11 published in 2011, 13 published in 2010, 12 published in 2009, 10 published in 2008, 16 published in 2007, 21 published in 2006, 26 published in 2005, 17 published in 2004, 14 published in 2003, 10 published in 2002) in recent years. These papers appeared in high standing publications such as Journal Papers include Nucleic Acids Research, BMC Genomics, BMC Bioinformatics, Current Drug Metabolism, Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, Information Systems, IEEE Multimedia, ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications and Applications etc. Phoebe is an editor for several journal issues and proceedings: Bioinformatics in Asia-Pacific, Bioinformatics 2003, Bioinformatics 2004, Bioinformatics 2005, Multimedia Modelling 2004, Multimedia Modelling 2005, Biomedical Visualization, Data Mining in Bioinformatics and Advanced Techniques for Bioinformatics. Phoebe's new book Bioinformatics Technologies (Springer) has just published on Jan 2005. Currently,
Phoebe's research interests are in the areas of Bioinformatics, Multimedia
Technologies and Web Information Systems.
Her professional
activities are also in these areas. Phoebe is a Regular Reviewer
for 10 international journals (includes Bioinformatics, Nucleic Acids
Research, Information Sciences, Journal of Internet Technology, IEEE

conferences. She is a founder of
Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Conference (chair of Steering
Committee). Phoebe is
also a Steering Committee chair for MMM
(International Multimedia Modelling
Conference). Phoebe is a
program chair for number of international conferences in Multimedia /

APBC2004,
PC-Co Chair of APBC2005
and general co-chair of
APBC2006.
She is conference co-chair of
CMLSA2008
and CMLSA2007. She is also a organization chair of IFIP2.6 Visual
Database Systems. She is associate editor
of
IEEE Transactions on Multimeida
(T-MM), Current
Bioinformatics,
Journal of Research and Practice
in Information Technology (JRPIT), editorial board of
the Open Medical Informatics Journal and
International Journal of Intelligent
Computing in Medical Sciences and Image Processing (IC-MED)and advisory board for
Bioinformatics Australia. She is also a PC member for

APBC2008, ICME2007, PAKDD2007, AI2006, ICME2005, CIVR2005, APWeb2005, WISE2005 Before Phoebe joined La Trobe University, Phoebe was an Associate Professor (Reader) at the School of Information Technology, Faculty of Science and Technology, Deakin University Melbourne Campus Australia from Dec 2003 to April 2010. Phoebe was the Group Leader of Bioinformatics Research and Multimedia Information Retrieval group leader. Phoebe was the Director of Research (Associate Head of Research) of School of Information Technology Deakin University from 2004-2005 and was head of Multimedia Stream from 2004 to 2006. Phoebe has been a Associate Lecturer, Lecturer and Senior Lecturer at the School of Information Systems, Faculty of Information Technology at Queensland University of Technology from Jul 1999 to Nov 2003. In this position, she has been a unit coordinator and lecturer in Interactivity Design, Multimedia Systems, and Advanced Multimedia Technologies. Dr. Chen was a Postgraduate Project Coordinator including honours and master. She was involved in the Cooperative Information Systems Research Centre in the Faculty of Information Technology as an operation manager, researcher/investigator and as its web administrator/master. She has been an active researcher in the Centre for Information Technology Innovation. She has supervised PhD, Master by Research, Honours and other projects students. She was also a web administrator/master for the School of Information Systems. She has established Advanced Bioinformatics Research Lab in QUT. Before Phoebe joined QUT, she was a senior research programmer for both Department of Commerce and the School of Psychology in UQ for two years. She also taught and tutored for several subjects in the Department of Computer Science of The University of Queensland for 4 years. In additional to that, she acted as a senior software engineer and senior programming consultant for several companies and projects before starting her academic career. Phoebe has designed and implemented flexible delivery material, entitled “Interactive Finance CD”, with Prof. Steve Gray that has been used in both Australian (UQ for both St. Lucia and Ipswich campus, AGSM UNSW, RMIT) and American Universities (such as Duke University). Phoebe was born in Taipei Taiwan and she is married, and has two lovely daughters and cute pets.
