Adjunct Associate Professor Lynette Cheah authored this article, which draws on research conducted with Dr Meijing Zhang, SUTD research fellow with the Engineering Systems and Design pillar.

The fundraising was led by existing investors, including SUTD Venture. The amount raised will aid the company expand its Voltality platform in South-east Asia, starting with Thailand and Malaysia.

Recent incidents involving conserved properties in Singapore have shown that the country has some way to go to ensure that its heritage buildings are adequately protected. Two incidents that made headlines in recent weeks underscore this point.

Mr Wang, 55, is a senior network engineer at Singtel. He found that fixing network issues was both difficult and time-consuming. Drawing on his years of experience, he guided young engineers to create an automated alert system that uses AI to detect and resolve problems before they escalate. This system has made the network more reliable and reduced downtime. Mr Wang’s innovation not only enhanced network performance but also demonstrated how senior employees can leverage their accumulated knowledge to create significant value and help train the next generation.

SUTD researchers had set out to test the effect of bilingualism in mitigating cognitive decline in older adults. The team developed and conducted a novel game-based cognitive training programme and found that older adults who played in dual-language mode improved their cognitive skills more than those who played in single-language mode.

SUTD researchers adopted a microfluidics approach to design a multi-channel nozzle that allows for fast, seamless 3D printing of foods using multiple types of foods.

To ensure seamless communication between the servers and the vehicles, researchers have proposed a task migration system that intelligently determines the optimal time to move tasks between the vehicle and external servers.

Professor Yow Wei Quin, Head of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (SINGAPORE – The mid-year school holidays are almost over, but some students in Singapore have been focusing more on academics than relaxation during their month-long break.

Tuition centres report a spike in demand for their academic “boot camps” for June for primary and secondary school students. And observers say that spending a significant portion of the holiday period, which ends on June 23, on studies is commonplace in Singapore, which risks fatigue and burnout for kids.

However, some children and parents report satisfaction with the youngster’s goals, motivation and packed holiday schedule.

HASS) at SUTD says: “Overscheduling can occur when a child’s holiday is filled with too many structured activities, leaving little to no time for rest, play or unstructured time. This can lead to stress, burnout and a lack of opportunities for creativity and self-directed learning.”

Traditional methods such as soft lithography fabrication which requires cleanroom facilities have limitations in achieving fully automated 3D interconnected microchannels.
