Dr. Shang-Wen Cheng (CS 2008)

Bio

After completing his Software Engineering Ph.D. in 2008, Dr. Owen Cheng was excited to apply the architectural thinking that he honed during his time working on software architecture and self-healing systems with his advisor, Dr. David Garlan. Dr. Cheng has applied model-based software engineering practices to develop, test, and operate flight software for the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory before joining the Uber Advanced Technologies Group in 2016. As a Senior Software Engineer with Uber ATG, Dr. Cheng has purveyed best software engineering practices across a variety of projects, including onboard vehicle telemetry.
