Symposium on AI + Future of Architecture Practice & Education
We are pleased to invite you to the 2025 Symposium on AI + The Future of Architecture Practice & Education, with guests Dr Gerhard Schmitt, Dr Jeffery Huang, Dr Anupama Kundoo and Dr Philip F. Yuan.
The poet as experiencer – poetic consciousness and nonhuman intelligence
HASS Talk by Adam Staley Groves – Presenting his recent monograph, The Poet as Experiencer: Wallace Stevens and Nonhuman Intelligence (Punctum Books, 2025) which proposes modernist poet Wallace Stevens as a perceiver of nonhuman intelligence (NHI).
Beyond optimal methods for minimax optimisation
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.
Time-sensitive AI systems for physical agents: from DNN perception to LLM planning
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.
Linux under the hood: powering everything from your laptop to the cloud
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.
Airspace and air traffic management in the age of uncrewed aerial systems
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.
Neural network-defined physical layer: a new paradigm for software radio in the IoT era
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.
Foundations and emerging trends in database systems
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.
Where code meets capital: How AI and emerging tech are redefining finance
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.
Docker Fundamentals Series with Dell Technologies
ISTD COIL Seminar – Learn to build, run, and deploy your applications anywhere using containers. Through the 2 guest lectures & online learning course, you will be able to explain the fundamentals of Docker and containerisation.
