Explore how digitalisation shapes the everyday lives of older adults in Singapore’s Outram Planning Area, featuring real stories, photographs, and voices from older residents — reflecting their experiences with technology, from the conveniences it brings to the challenges it creates.

Pang Yang Huei presents Wheels within Wheels, exploring Chinese involvement in the origins of the Korean War, at the Academy of Singapore Teachers.

This talk traces the historical development and contemporary transformations of the Buddhist community in Singapore. Beginning in the nineteenth century, it examines how waves of migration from China, South Asia, and Southeast Asia produced a diverse Buddhist landscape encompassing Theravāda, Mahāyāna, and Vajrayāna traditions in a colonial port city.

ESD Research Seminar by Arjun Ramachandra – Many applications in power systems, supply chains, and transportation involve uncertain outcomes and optimisation decisions over multiple time periods while requiring high reliability. Joint chance constraints (JCC) enforce strict reliability but are overly conservative, while single chance constraints (SCC) offer flexibility at the cost of performance.

This showcase highlights human‑centred engineering solutions that address real‑world challenges in accessibility, mobility and independence, demonstrating how thoughtful design and technology can create meaningful social impact.​

Accessibility systems worldwide are evaluated on compliance: does the ramp exist, does the lift work, is the route barrier-free? But compliance and care are not the same thing. This talk draws on fieldwork in Singapore to examine accessibility as a relational problem, not just an infrastructure one, and asks what happens when we apply this lens to AI.

Featuring works of students—Capstone projects (graduating class of 2026), Baby Shark Fund ventures, Design·AI Fab Lab works and various innovation highlights across our majors, pillars and clusters.

ESD Research Seminar by Huang Yiduo – This talk introduces Postdoctoral Research Associate Huang Yiduo’s research programme at the intersection of optimisation, stochastic modelling, and data-driven methods for complex service and supply chain systems.

We’re excited to invite you to the annual ISTD Design Exhibition 2026 – a showcase of innovation, creativity, and engineering brilliance by our Sophomore CSD students!

ESD Research Seminar by Liu Xinyu, Cindy – This talk presents rigorous, practical frameworks using continuous-time Markov decision processes (MDPs) and game-theoretic queues.
