Measuring Light Through Trees for Daylight Simulations
This research project proposes a novel approach that that incorporates simulated human crowd flow patterns into the design of middle-scale built environment layouts (e.g., shopping mall, campus, station terminal, theme park).


Utilising Both Conversion & Alloying reactions for High Lithium Storage Capacities
High-energy and power-dense lithium-ion batteries are necessary to propel the development of portable electronics.


Crowd-driven Mid-scale Layout Design
This research project proposes a novel approach that that incorporates simulated human crowd flow patterns into the design of middle-scale built environment layouts (e.g., shopping mall, campus, station terminal, theme park).


SmartGrid
SmartGrid is a new technology that understands the preferences of its user, bringing about energy and cost savings in accordance with the user’s comfort level of choice.


4D Printing
Expanding the potential of its 3D counterpart, 4D Printing transcends into the 4th dimension – time. By allowing the printing of 3D objects that can change in shape and configuration over time, 4D Printing is set to transform aerospace structures, toys and other products we use in our everyday lives.


Water Desalination
This low-energy and cost-effective process uses carbon nanomaterials as the electrode in capacitive deionisation to remove salt from water.


Magnetic Field-based Localisation of Nasogastric Tube
A common clinical procedure, nasogastric intubation is generally performed manually without any visual aids or indications. Erroneous insertions are often not detected in time through typical confirmation methods such as X-ray, potentially leading to death and injuries.
