ISTD PhD Oral Defence Seminar by Tan Yu Xiang – Adverse conditions such as rain or murky water environment, significantly impacts various perception tasks. In rain conditions, the images captured are easily corrupted by both raindrops on the lenses and lens flare. Meanwhile in turbid underwater conditions, the murkiness reduces the contrast and saturation of the image. To tackle these problems, we utilise contextual information to improve robustness of perception algorithms.

ISTD PhD Oral Defence Seminar by Jan Melechovsky – In the modern era, new technology is opening opportunities to help various groups of people around the world. In this thesis, deep learning and audio processing is utilized to target the needs of and develop specific applications for patients with progressive neurological diseases, speakers of non-native English accents, and amateur and leisure musicians and music enjoyers.

ESD Seminar by Chengchang Liu – This talk will introduce several novel methods that achieve even faster convergence rates or better computational complexities compared to various optimal methods by effectively incorporating curvature information and leveraging the min-max structure.

ESD Seminar by Neiwen Ling – Research on developing time-sensitive AI systems, focusing on Deep Neural Network (DNN)-based perception and LLM-driven planning will be presented in this talk.

ISTD COIL Seminar by Norman Hsu Chen-Wei – A brief, engaging introduction to Linux as the powerful, often unseen operating system behind much of the digital world.

ISTD PhD Oral Defence Seminar by Qi Zhang – Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are crucial in signal processing but face challenges when handling high-dynamic-range signals. In radar systems, the coexistence of strong and weak targets can lead to significant information loss due to ADC limitations.

ESD Research Seminar by Max Li – Recent projects related to weather-dependent service reliability of drone package deliver operations, UAS operations optimisation for hazardous environment navigation, as well as airspace congestion management for larger, air taxi-type vehicles will be discussed in this talk.

ISTD PhD Oral Defence Seminar by Wang Jiazhao – The increase of the Internet of Things (IoT) has created a complex and heterogeneous wireless ecosystem, demanding IoT gateways that are both flexible and efficient. While Software Defined Radio (SDR) provides the necessary hardware adaptability, its potential is frequently undermined by significant software implementation challenges, including a lack of portability across platforms, prohibitive design complexity for advanced algorithms, and poor computational efficiency. This thesis posits that these persistent bottlenecks can be overcome by a paradigm shift in physical layer (PHY) design: reframing core communication functionalities as learnable, interpretable neural network (NN) models.

ISTD COIL Seminar by DBS Bank – This talk connects foundational knowledge with real-world applications, emphasising the vital role databases play in powering today’s AI-driven technologies.

ISTD COIL Seminar by Rohit Bansal – In this session, the speaker draws on two decades of experience at the intersection of technology and global finance to offer students an industry-first perspective on how emerging technologies are transforming the financial landscape.
