Countries need to both mitigate climate change and adapt to it, but limited resources mean one may get prioritised over the other. This research asks why, and finds that mitigation is seen as more desirable (having a more attractive goal, with global benefits), while adaptation is seen as more feasible (being easier to act on, with localised benefits).

This lecture explores how environmental inequalities shape psychological experiences across the Global South, where communities often face the greatest climate risks despite contributing least to the crisis.

ISTD COIL Seminar by Ng Hak Beng – This session will provide insights into security issues in the Linux environment, with a focus on rootkits.

ISTD COIL Seminar by Nicholas – As hardware grows more powerful and application density increases, optimising Linux-based environments requires more than default kernel and Kubernetes settings. This talk examines the need for careful tuning, fine-grained workload isolation, and specialised capabilities to prevent noisy-neighbour effects.

ISTD COIL Seminar by Vishesh Kumar – In this session, we explore AWS Kira – an agentic IDE that transforms natural-language intent into structured specifications, technical designs, and sequenced implementation tasks before writing a single line of code.

ISTD COIL Seminar by Vishesh Kumar – This session covers best practices for choosing between RDBMS and NoSQL databases in real-world industry scenarios on AWS, introduces state-of-the-art storage services and explores novel techniques for indexing and query optimisation at scale.

ISTD PhD Oral Defence Seminar by Mark He Huang – Modern AI systems often struggle in physical environments where observations are incomplete, noisy and constantly changing. This seminar presents a feedback-guided representation learning framework that helps AI systems revise what they know, maintain useful representations over time and generate physically plausible outcomes. The work spans machine unlearning, object-centric 3D visual memory and simulator-guided video generation, with the broader aim of enabling more reliable reasoning in the dynamic physical world.

This talk examines urban colour not as surface decoration, but as a structured system shaped by nature, culture, and urban development over time.

EPD Physical AI Lecture Series – Join industry leaders from QuikBot and Certis for an engaging conversation on how AI, robotics and smart security are shaping safer, smarter and more human-centred systems for tomorrow.

ISTD COIL Seminar by Chia Boon Quee – The lecture centres on applied cryptography through the lens of real-world protocols and standards, rather than abstract fundamentals.
