He studied satellite geodesy at the University of Nottingham where he was awarded a PhD in 1993 for research on Differential GPS (DGPS) and fiducial network design.

Ochieng stayed at Nottingham as a postdoctoral research associate after his PhD, before joining Thales Group as a navigation engineer. Ochieng joined Imperial College London in 1997. He works on the design and application of navigation systems, and hopes to achieve a truly global position, navigation and timing (PNT) system. He serves as Head of the Centre for Transport Studies. He is interested in intelligent traffic control and how it can be used to regulate traffic in congested streets and railways, as well as in air traffic management. He has been involved with several international projects, including European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), Galileo, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and the Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) joint undertaking. For the GNSS system, Ochieng worked on sensing, modelling of errors in the positional accuracy and ultra-wideband radio systems. He has been involved with the transformation of London’s transport system. Ochieng was concerned about the amount of data that would be collected during the initial stages of the Congestion Charge. He has advised the government on how to decongest the roads in Nairobi. His recent research develops sensor data fusion for situational awareness in autonomous vehicles.
