Re-Appointed as Dean’s Chair_Associate Professor Vincent Tan

Associate Professor Vincent Tan has been re-appointed as Dean’s Chair in the College of Design and Engineering from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2024.

The Dean’s Chair appointment is in recognition of Associate Prof Vincent Tan’s outstanding and impactful scholarly accomplishments. Vincent works on information theory, signal processing, and machine learning. A pioneer of the study of second-order asymptotics in network information theory, he has also resolved certain conjectures in common information and non-interactive correlation distillation (together with Lei Yu). More recently, he has made progress in the study of online machine learning and multi-armed bandits. His work has appeared in leading journals such as the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, Communications in Mathematical Physics, and the Journal of Machine Learning Research. He has also published extensively in top-tier machine learning conferences such as ICML, NeurIPS, and ICLR. He was recognized as a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Information Theory Society in 2018 and received the NUS Young Researcher Award in 2019. He is currently serving as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing and the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory. A dedicated educator, he was also twice awarded the Engineering Educator Award (in 2020 and 2021).

First demonstration of a secure quantum network with untrusted quantum devices

An international team comprising researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and LMU Munich (LMU) have, for the first time, successfully demonstrated a new form of quantum key distribution (QKD) that is secure even if the users are not privy to the underlying quantum hardware. The work, paving the way for a more secure
