He received his B.S. from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1997, and earned a PhD in mechanical engineering from Stanford University.
He previously worked at Caltech as an instructor and as a researcher on neural prosthetics.
He has now fully devoted to his comic work.
In 2005, Cham became a full time cartoonist and began an invited speaking tour of major universities delivering his talk titled "The Power of Procrastination".
To date, he has given hundreds of lectures worldwide.
In this lecture, Cham talks about his experiences creating the comic strip and examines the sources of grad students' anxieties.
