His academic focus is on entrepreneurship and innovation education, nature education, and biophilia and topophilia. His art work focuses on the minutiae of human activity through rigorous academic convergence to resonate with viewers and stimulate thought. Later, his experience in the mountains got him interested in natural life, land, and the connection between humans and nature.

Chen now lives and works as a photographer and educator in Shanghai.
