Cheng Shi is a student at Indiana University Bloomington. He is pursuing his Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Mathematics and Bachelor of Arts degree in Italian. Cheng is a member of Hutton Honor College at Indiana University, which recognizes exceptional academic achievements of students in their undergraduate studies.

Cheng considers himself as an Applied Mathematician with concentration of Statistics and Data Science. He believes that he is able to apply his strong mathematical and data analysis skills to many different fields. Cheng worked in James T. Townsend Mathematical Psychology Lab from June 2015 to February 2016. His work focused on utilizing multi-dimensional scaling to discover general description of perceptual space of human subjects. He modified perceptual spatial models, including decision bound, systems factorial technology and select influence with knowledge of stochastic probability theory. Moreover, he also derived SIC functions for both parametric and nonparametric distributions for various architecture and stopping rules with constant capacity of cognitive process. Besides cognitive science, Cheng also has impressive experience in Actuarial Science. In 2016, he attended Society of Actuaries (SOA) Student Challenge and got into semi-finalist.

Cheng's current interests are Data Science and Machine Learning. He looks forward to participating the Wolfram Science Summer School, meeting with different successful scholars in different fields and applying Wolfram technology to his field of interest.
