Assoc Prof Panda Sanjib Kumar awarded Outstanding Mentorship Award
Associate Professor Panda Sanjib Kumar was awarded the Outstanding Mentorship Award as part of the Ministry of Education’s Science Mentorship Programme (SMP) 2024. His project on hydrogen production and utilisation modeling with economic analysis guided two groups of talented secondary students, leading them to be recognised in the merit category at the 29th Youth Science Conference. Under Professor Panda’s mentorship, the students explored key concepts in hydrogen energy and simulations, showing the power of innovation and collaboration.

Ergonomic microscope CALIPSO wins “Best of the Best”
Congratulations to the Design Incubation Centre (DIC), as part of the Division of Industrial Design (DID), College of Design and Engineering, NUS, for receiving the "Best of the Best" award at the Red Dot Design Awards 2024 for the CALIPSO project!
It is recognised for its ergonomic design, featuring an automated sliding door that enhances movement and access. This design streamlines tasks and enhances user comfort and efficiency during long hours at the microscope.
“This award places DIC alongside the world’s top design studios, and it is a testament to the skill and commitment of our young graduates from DID,” stated Assoc Prof Christophe Gaubert, Director of the DIC and the Project Lead of CALIPSO, who received the prize alongside Poh Yun Ru, Designer at DIC. He envisions the project evolving towards industrialisation to benefit more researchers by developing a more compact and optimised version of the prototype.
