Shang-Wen Cheng (鄭上玟)

Greetings and welcome to my homepage. I am a newly minted Ph.D. in Software Engineering from the School of Computer Science Institute for Software Research (ISR) at Carnegie Mellon University. I currently work as a Postdoctoral Fellow with Professor David Garlan in his ABLE research group.

My general computing interests have spanned architecture, design, and infrastructure management, and I have done research in self-healing systems, software architecture, design tools, and integration of security in architectural designs. For my next career step, I'm currently looking into organizations that pursue development of high-impact tools and techniques in software, with opportunity for research.

I started the Ph.D. program at CMU in 2000, proposed my thesis in June 2004, defended my thesis on April 18, 2008, and graduated in May 2008. During those years, I worked closely with Bradley Schmerl. Along the way, My housemate and good friend George Fairbanks helped me tremendously and set a great example for me and fellow SE-PhDers. In the final lap to the finish line, Vahe Poladian and I spent countless thesis-writing hours together for mutual support.

This Wiki was put in place to simplify management, but some contents remained on my old Drupal site. Site index links appear on the right, and also featured are

• Crystal Cheng's blog site, the Gourmet Scientist

• The RainbowWiki I maintain about my research on self-adaptive systems
