Through China, Academic tenure and Differential equation
He is known for his contributions to Chaos theory and Bifurcation theory, including the Chen attractor, a kind of dynamical system attractor named after him (see Multiscroll attractor).
Early life
In 1948, Chen Guanrong was born in Guangzhou, China. In 1978, he enrolled in the Guangzhou Sun Yat-sen University. In 1981 he graduated with a master's degree in computational mathematics.
He then studied in the US and in 1987 earned a PhD in applied math from Texas A&M University.

He is known for the Chen attractor, Lu Chen attractor, and other works on Multiscroll attractors. He conducts research on chaos, control theory, bifurcations, nonlinear dynamics, complex systems, etc.
Chen attractor
Chen discovered the Chen equations, a system of coupled differential equations that produce the Chen's attractor, a type of Lorenz attractor.
The equations that govern the Chen system are:
