Chien studies combustion and flame science, multiphase reacting flows, spray and aerosols using optical diagnostics. 

Her research focus includes microgravity combustion control, hydrate flames and gas storage, and atomization and spray diagnostics. The environment of these research activities stretches from standard atmosphere, to high pressure and zero-g.
