Vivien Cheng Headshot

I'm an incoming Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering at Stanford.

I did my B.S. in Electrical Engineering and M.S. in Computer Science at Stanford. My current research interests are in building reliable, efficient, and adaptive intelligent systems. My previous work includes electrified thermochemical reactor design, hardware acceleration for machine learning, and game-theoretic modeling.

Outside the lab, I tutor math and languages. I grew up in Germany, where I founded nonprofit initiatives and served with Germany's Federal Agency for Technical Relief.
