Scott Cheng

I am a Computer Science undergraduate at Nanyang Technological University, where I am also pursuing a second major in Entrepreneurship. I recently spent an exchange semester at Queen’s University studying artificial intelligence, machine learning, human-computer interaction, and graduate-level networking.

My work spans software, data, mechanical design, CAD, robotics, electrical systems, communications, and research. As part of my final-year project at NTU, I am a part-time research intern at the Acoustics Research Lab at the National University of Singapore. My thesis, Integrated Communications, Sensing, and Propulsion (ICSP), investigates the use of thrusters as transmitters.

Previously, I worked on neural electrophysiology systems at Axoft, autonomous ground vehicles at Singapore’s Government Technology Agency, and vehicle electronics and embedded systems with Nanyang Venture Formula Racing. I also lead systems engineering and team operations at Mecatron.

As Head of Mecatron, I coordinate work across all teams working on autonomous submarines, boats, drones, and general robotics. I also contribute directly to networking, electrical-systems architecture and implementation, power systems, communications, and PCB design, while contributing to research, business, finance, logistics, operations, and external relations. My broader engineering work also includes mechanical design and CAD.

My research interests include underwater acoustic networking and localization, robotics, wireless communication, marine systems, prosthetics, and neurotechnology. More broadly, I am interested in integrating sensing, communication, and control into systems that operate in difficult environments.
