About Me

Hi, I’m Sheng-Wen (Colin) Cheng, a system software engineer with the Platform Security Controller (PSC) team at NVIDIA, where I develop secure bootloader software to ensure system integrity during the boot process.

Outside of my role at NVIDIA, I specialize in robotics, embedded systems, real-time operating systems (RTOS), and hardware-software integration. I hold a master’s degree in Robotics from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, where I conducted research in the Networked Control Robotics Lab (NCRL) under the supervision of Dr. Teng-Hu Cheng. My work focused on developing a quadrotor flight control system using nonlinear control and sensor fusion algorithms. This system was later licensed to the Taiwan Space Agency (TASA) for scientific research purposes.

I am also an active contributor to open-source projects and have presented my work at international conferences, including top-tier venues such as the Embedded Open Source Summit (EOSS). My technical experience includes the design and implementation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), RTOS, and virtual machines.
