Cheng Chen

A highly regarded optical physicist, Dr. Chen began creating Perfusio’s revolutionary technology in 2008. With expertise in imaging algorithm and visualization, Dr. Chen was one of the first to recognize the enormous clinical potential for real-time analysis of perfusion and blood flow. He developed the software that powers the company’s Complex Angiography and Perfusion Analysis (CAPA) platform and is co-inventor of its Multi-Spectral Physiologic Visualization (MSPV) technology. His leadership was critical for IP strategy and the patent application process and will lead the company to future applications, designs, and IP expansions. Dr. Chen earned his doctorate in Biomedical Physics from East Carolina University (ECU), which led to a significant career in optical imaging of turbid biological medium and publication of numerous papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals. After serving in ECU’s Physics and Engineering Departments, he is now an adjunct associate professor there. Dr. Chen is a member of the National Academy of Inventors and currently holds six patents, with more than 30 additional applications under review in the U.S. and internationally.
