Predicting potential problems of persistent plastic particulates
Engineering Product Development Professor Yang Hui Ying has observed that the current literature on long-term ageing treatments of microplastics is inadequate. Most research only looks at short-term ageing, which may not fully reflect the environmental behaviour of microplastics.
SUTD researchers train AI with reinforcement learning to defeat champion Street Fighter players
The research team created a new complicated movement design software based on an approach that has proven effective in board games like Chess and Go. In a single testing, the movements from the new approach appeared to be superior to those of top human players.
Smooth avatar-user synchronization for the metaverse
What if, instead of incorporating technology into our physical world, we assimilate ourselves into a virtual environment? This is what Assistant Professor Xiong Zehui hopes to achieve in his research.
How curiosity sparked pioneering research
While working alongside cancer research groups during his postdoctoral studies, Assistant Professor Desmond Loke became intrigued by the possibility of extending the application of his electronic devices to cancer studies.
SUTD researchers leverage novel nanotechnology to control cells over long periods
A version of the nanosecond electroporation platform has been developed by researchers from SUTD and A*STAR Bioinformatics Institute. The platform allows pores to remain open for 10 times longer than that achieved in current systems.
A butterfly’s first flight inspires a new way to produce force and electricity
The wings of a butterfly are made of chitin – SUTD researchers uncover the promising capability of chitin as a sustainable smart biomaterial.
Bilingualism as a catalyst for social development in children
Through this research, Assoc Prof Yow aims to develop ideas on ways to embrace language diversity, with the ultimate goal of harnessing the advantages of bilingualism to improve the developmental and educational outcomes for children from all walks of life.
2D Nanosheets for Sustainable Carbon Capture
SUTD and A*STAR researchers produced an energy-efficient technique to rapidly synthesise 2D mica nanosheets for effective carbon dioxide capture.
Chip-based dispersion compensation for faster fibre internet
SUTD scientists developed a novel CMOS-compatible, slow-light-based transmission grating device for the dispersion compensation of high-speed data, significantly lowering data transmission errors.
Keeping Your Backdoor Secure
SUTD researchers developed AEGIS, the first and only technique that is able to detect backdoor attacks in robust machine learning models.
