Events
EPD Term 4 3D Design Project Exhibition 2026 – ENGAGE-D
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.
Does the System Care? Accessibility, AI and the Difference Between Technical Compliance and Relational Safety
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.
Learning-augmented optimisation for transportation, supply chain, and service systems
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.
InspireCon 2026
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.
ISTD Design Exhibition 2026
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!
Stochastic dynamics in curbside operations: Pricing, facility design, and access control
ESD Research Seminar by Liu Xinyu, Cindy – This talk presents rigorous, practical frameworks using continuous-time Markov decision processes (MDPs) and game-theoretic queues.
"Acclimations" Civic adaptation with climate changes
Join us for an evening with Dominique Cécile Jakob — award‑winning architect and co‑founder of the Paris‑based practice JAKOB+MACFARLANE.
A behavioural model for exploration vs exploitation: Theoretical framework and experimental evidence
ESD Research Seminar by Yifan Feng – How do people navigate the exploration-exploitation (EE) trade-off when making repeated choices with unknown rewards? We study this question through the lens of multi-armed bandit problems and introduce a novel behavioural model, Quantal Choice with Adaptive Reduction of Exploration (QCARE).
What can quantum AI learn from biological intelligence?
ESD Research Seminar by Thiparat Chotibut – Designing scalable quantum machine learning (QML) models with potential quantum advantage on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices remains a major challenge.
ISTD Industry Engagement Day 2026
Join us for an exciting afternoon of networking, career insights, and opportunities — organised exclusively for ISTD/CSD students.
