The HASS cluster is excited to invite you to a featured session at this year’s IDEAS Festival 2026, a nationwide showcase of cutting-edge insights from humanities and social science research on the theme of “resilience”.
Designing human-AI communications for observability, predictability, and (re)directability
ISTD Research Talk by Lewis Chuang – In this talk, Prof Lewis Chuang will share previous and ongoing research focused on designing interfaces for supporting communications and mutual awareness between human operators and automated systems.
From applications to structure and back
ESD Research Seminar by Antonio Frangioni – Professor Antonio Frangioni will summarise some of the main lines of his research in this seminar, emphasising how he is primarily driven by the desire of solving real-world, difficult optimisation problems.
Shaping the future of connectivity – A telco veteran’s journey into digital communications
ISTD COIL Seminar by Heng Kwee Tong – In this inspiring session, the Chief Technology Officer of SPTel shares his three-decade journey through the rapid evolution of digital communications and the role young talent will play in shaping what comes next.
Beyond the prompt: Building the distributed infrastructure for trusted AI agents
ISTD COIL Seminar by Stevanus Satria – This talk explores how Consensus, Fault Tolerance, and Consistency are being reimagined through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to build governed Al agents.
Sum of squares submodularity
ESD Research Seminar by Georgina Hall – This talk will demonstrate the usefulness of t-sos submodularity through three applications: (i) a new convex approach to submodular regression, involving minimal manual tuning; (ii) a systematic procedure to derive lower bounds on the submodularity ratio in approximate submodular maximisation, and (iii) improved difference-of-submodular decompositions for difference-of-submodular optimisation.
Cybersecurity today: Attacks are real! Will AI save the day?
ISTD COIL Seminar by Tan Jiaqi – This talk will explore how we can study cybersecurity incidents using publicly-available information to understand the technical details, and see how Cyber defenders can better protect their systems.
SUTD Campus Experience 2026
Join us for a vibrant day on 14 February 2026 at our campus—packed with informative sessions, interactive experiences and guided tours designed to give you a true taste of life at SUTD.
Regression analysis of semiparametric Cox–Aalen transformation models with application to a randomised HIV/AIDS trial
ESD Research Seminar by Xi Ning – This talk will study a class of the semiparametric Cox-Aalen transformation models for regression analysis.
Zoning in emerging logistics systems: New theory and practice
ESD Research Seminar by Sheng Liu – New zoning methods and their applications to manage emerging logistics systems in retail and last-mile delivery will be discussed in this talk.
