James Cheng

I am a Master’s student in Computer Science at Stanford University. Previously, I obtained Bachelor's degrees in Computer Science and Business Administration from UC Berkeley, where I was a Regents' and Chancellor's Scholar. I was very fortunate to work with Prof. Shankar Sastry and Chinmay Maheshwari on optimization and game theory research in traffic networks.

I am interested in machine learning and engineering in robotics with the goal of improving real-world applicability to help humans do a wide range of tasks.
