MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN!
Dear students, alumni, colleagues, and partners of CDE,
This past month, you might have seen articles and posts about the 2024 Singapore winner of the James Dyson Awardā€”Luke Goh, Industrial Design (Class of 2024). Lukeā€™s thesis project, Mammosense, is a first-of-its-kind tool that analyses individualsā€™ breasts to determine the optimal compression force required during screenings for greater patient comfort and encourage increased participation in cancer screenings. This is the 3rd consecutive win for the Division of Industrial Design ā€“ certainly a high point!
His work is intriguing because this young man had no qualms about embarking on this projectā€”addressing a problem that would seem remote to the male population! Instead, his observations from his motherā€™s own experience drove his research, and intent in understanding the real problem underwent a mammogram himself. That is the spirit I often see in our Collegeā€”the inquiring mind coupled with the drive to improve the lot of others.
The month was capped by another top achievement ā€“ former Head of Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Professor Liu Bin was awarded one of the nationā€™s highest honours ā€“ the Presidentā€™s Science Award. Among her scientific achievements, she was also recognised for her creative and entrepreneurial mindset.
The inquiring mind, the interest in learning new things, and the love of exploring and experimentation ā€“ should always be encouraged here at CDE.
Professor Teo Kie Leong

College of Design and Engineering (CDE)

ARTIC Technical Seminar – The Evolution of RF Power Amplifiers: From Past to Present
In areas like cellular infrastructure, where energy consumption is substantial, improving PA efficiency has become more urgent than ever, driven by rising energy costs and growing demand for greener, more sustainable solutions. This talk will trace the evolution of RF PAs over the past decades, highlighting key technological advancements and shifts in design strategies. The […]
ARTIC Technical Seminar – Catching the Moment: Low-Latency Live Streaming at Scale
Bandwidth prediction is already a difficult task and must be more accurate when lower latency is desired due to the shorter time available to react to bandwidth changes. Any inaccuracy in bandwidth prediction results in flawed rate-adaptation decisions, which will, in turn, translate into a diminished viewer experience. This talk presents several bandwidth prediction models […]
