Short bio:

Before June 2019, Dr. Chih-Hong Cheng was a permanent researcher at fortiss - Research Institute of the Free State of Bavaria, where he developed the research topic of dependable AI for autonomous systems. Prior to his tenure at fortiss, he was a scientist in ABB Corporate Research Germany and worked on projects related to intelligent production systems (Industry 4.0), cloud-related technologies for industrial automation (PaaS, IaaS), and the analysis of complex industrial software systems. Chih-Hong received his doctoral degree (summa cum laude) in CS from Technical University of Munich.
