Hi, I’m Charles Cheng.

I'm a fourth-year student at Northwestern University, pursuing a combined B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and M.S. in Computer Science. Over the past three summers, I’ve held internships at Northrop Grumman, Argonne National Laboratory, and the Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL).

At Northrop Grumman, I led the development of a software tool that analyzes the performance of various geolocation techniques used to locate potential threats to aircraft. At CERL, I automated robots’ sensor calibration processes and created a virtual reality workstation for operating autonomous rovers. At Argonne, I contributed to the Advanced Photon Source Upgrade project, delivering a program that corrects misalignment in magnet positions and producing a model of the vacuum chamber inside the particle accelerator.

In Northwestern's Formula Racing club, I've been a valuable member of the suspension team, designing and manufacturing the wheel hubs and rockers. I’ve delved into a multitude of self-directed projects utilizing machine learning, computer vision, and robotics. Proficient with Python, C/C++, MATLAB, Git, and CAD, I am excited to enter the workforce, continue learning, and apply the knowledge I’ve gained.

As I approach the threshold of graduation, I'm actively seeking entry-level opportunities that align with my passion for innovation and diverse skill set. If you're interested in working with me, please don't hesitate to reach out. Let's connect and develop new technologies together!
