Liu Chen (simplified Chinese: 陈骝; traditional Chinese: 陳騮; pinyin: Chén Liú; born 1946 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang) is an American theoretical physicist who has made original contributions to many aspects of plasma physics. He is known for the discoveries of kinetic Alfven waves,^[1] toroidal Alfven eigenmodes,^[2] and energetic particle modes;^[3] the theories of geomagnetic pulsations,^[4] Alfven wave heating,^[5] and fishbone oscillations,^[6] and the first formulation of nonlinear gyrokinetic equations.^[7] Chen retired from University of California, Irvine (UCI) in 2012, assuming the title professor emeritus of physics and astronomy.
