The PM's UX dilemmas: what happens when good design meets the real world
ISTD COIL Seminar by Thenmugilan Gandhy – This talk is about the decisions that don’t make it into design case studies.
From one-way mirrors to AI agents: 10 lessons from the field
ISTD COIL Seminar by Emily Cheung – In this session, Emily will share 10 lessons from her journey – from observing users behind one-way mirrors to designing AI-powered ventures.
Beyond worst-case: the rise of learning-augmented online algorithms
ESD Research Seminar by Themis Gouleakis – Online algorithms are traditionally analysed in adversarial worst-case settings, leading to guarantees that often fail to capture practical performance. The emerging framework of learning-augmented algorithms integrates machine-learned predictions into online decision making while preserving rigorous guarantees.
Dialogues with Leaders: Networking with Experts in Human-Centred Design
Dialogues with Leaders by Hasan Habib – Hasan shares on his experience in UX/UI design in the industry and where he teaches as an Assistant Professor.
Functional programming in financial markets
ISTD COIL Seminar by Nguyen Huu-Hai – In this talk, the application of functional programming in a very large industrial setting will be showcased.
New quantum algorithms based on Riemannian optimisation
ESD Research Seminar by Marek Gluza – Dr Marek Gluza will show how the basic aspects of Riemannian geometry of the unitary group such as its curvature, tangent space and dense covering can guide the design of quantum algorithms in this seminar.
A multi-modal LLM-augmented deep reinforcement learning framework for adaptive traffic signal control
ISTD Seminar by Maonan Wang – Urban traffic congestion continues to pose severe challenges for sustainable mobility, and adaptive traffic signal control is widely recognized as a key solution.
Causal optimal transport for stochastic processes
ESD Research Seminar by Daniel Bartl – Prof Bartle will discuss causal transport theory and the adapted Wasserstein distance, which extend classical transport theory from probability measures to stochastic processes by incorporating the temporal flow of information.
The OT Security Platform
ISTD COIL Seminar by Jonathan Chin – Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) security safeguard devices, networks, and critical systems.
Dialogues with Leaders: Networking with Experts in Human-Centred Design
Dialogues with Leaders by Weihan Liew & Yeeling Chua – Weihan will be sharing on his entrepreneurial endeavours, and Yeeling will be sharing on her career as a UX designer-turned-entrepreneur.
