SINGAPORE – An urban jungle reimagined. By restoring natural biodiversity and incorporating native plants into architecture, Singapore “serves as an example for other towns looking to create livable, environmentally conscious cities,” says Professor Thomas Schroepfer.

The project teaches students about the importance of form and function in product design. The students created models and sourced for materials before putting the vehicle together.

Inspired by the biological structure and characteristics of insects, teams from two local educational institutions collaborated to use 3D printing technology to design and manufacture the external shell components of an electric sports car.

The students used 3D printing technology to design and manufacture the innovative and sleek external shell, which embodies the speed and agility of the sports car.

What are the benefits of bilingualism? It turns out that in addition to educational benefits, work convenience and maintaining connections with family and cultural traditions, bilingualism also has a positive impact on the brain and even delays the onset of dementia.

“I did this research by chance. I was enrolled at the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT for my postdoctoral work to develop electrical devices with biotechnology. The institute is focused on cancer research and I happened to view other groups’ work on cancer cells. I thought, ‘This is quite interesting’, and wondered if I could extend my work to cancer research,” said Assistant Prof Desmond Loke.

The Coastal Protection and Flood Resilience Institute and its partner institutes – which include the Singapore University of Technology and Design, will also aim to attract talent, create new research jobs and train PhD students.

The TinyLlama project, by researchers from the StatNLP Research Group at SUTD, is trying to pre-train a 1.1 billion Llama model on a whopping three trillion tokens. This model takes up only 550MB of RAM.

SUTD pioneer student Kevin Ignasius graduated from the Master of Architecture programme in 2016. He co-leads DPA’s data centre typology group and is currently working on data centres and purpose-built industrial facilities.

After a rigorous selection process, the inaugural cohort of 190 students will start school this week at 42 Singapore (42SG). Education Minister Chan Chun Sing thanked the partners involved in bringing 42SG to fruition.
