Dr. Allan Chen holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. With over a decade of expertise in the design and fabrication of compact D-D and D-T neutron generators, his work has centered on both medical and industrial applications, with a special focus on Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). Driven by a vision to make BNCT more accessible, Dr. Chen is committed to advancing neutron generator-based systems, making it easier for hospitals to adopt this cutting-edge treatment technology. His diverse scientific background and role as a general technologist enable him to approach challenges with a multidisciplinary perspective.

In the last year, Dr. Chen has developed a low-output, table-top neutron generator system with integrated detectors, designed as a demonstration unit for educational purposes. By deploying these units to universities and schools, he aims to provide students with hands-on experience in plasma physics, ion beam technology, particle detection, and general engineering principles. This initiative supports his broader goal of cultivating a skilled fusion energy workforce for the future.
