Asst Prof John Ho from the Dept of Electrical and Computer Engineering at NUS Faculty of Engineering and the Institute for Health Innovation and Technology at NUS led a research team to develop a highly sensitive wireless reader that can monitor health indicators using microsensors that are tiny enough to be injected under the skin.

Tiny subcutaneous implants that can continuously measure a person’s blood glucose, heart rate and other physiological conditions are a Holy Grail of modern medicine. A team of NUS researchers has recently made a quantum leap into turning this dream closer to reality. They developed a new wireless reader that is so sensitive to minute changes

Congratulations to Dr. Chua Dingjuan, Dr. Rajesh Panicker and Dr. Sangit Sasidhar of ECE for winning the NUS Annual Teaching Excellence Awards (ATEA)  2017/18. They received the award on 19 Nov 2019 from Prof. Ho Teck Hua, Senior Deputy President & Provost, who himself is an NUS ECE alumnus! The NUS Annual Teaching Excellence Award (ATEA) is awarded

Year 1 NUS Electrical Engineering and NUS Economics double degree student Jerome Teo and Year 2 NUS Economics student Rachel Teo made their Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) debut by clinching three medals in two hours at the dancesport event. The siblings took bronzes in the mixed standard waltz and mixed standard Viennese waltz, and

Congratulations to Associate Professor Chen Xudong who has been elevated to IEEE Fellow with effect 1 Jan 2020, a distinction reserved for select IEEE members with extraordinary accomplishments in IEEE’s fields of interest. Associate Professor Chen received the accolade for his contributions to optimization methods for electromagnetic inverse scattering. His research interests mainly include inverse

Modern computer memory encodes information by switching magnetic bits within devices. Now, a ground-breaking study conducted by researchers from NUS Electrical and Computer Engineering has found a new efficient way of using ‘spin waves’ to switch magnetisation at room temperature for more energy-efficient spin memory and logic devices. Future magnon torque based devices such as this could

A new AI-powered system uSINE could reduce the pain and risk of complications for pregnant patients undergoing caesarean section by improving the accuracy in administering spinal anaesthesia. When NUS Electrical and Computer Engineering Research Fellow Dr Ma Jun heard about the launch of the NUS Industry Liaison Office’s Graduate Research Innovation Programme (GRIP), he knew it would be the ideal

A post-graduate sharing session was organized by the NUS IEEE-HKN student chapter and took place on the 21st of November, 2019. During the session, Ms. Qiu Yihui and Mr. Dong Bowei shared about the value of PhD, their personal journey and reasons for doing a PhD. They also talked about what they do in a

Best Student Presentation Award Congratulations to our Graduate student Shuyuan Shi from Professor Hyunsoo Yang’s research group was recently awarded the Best Student Presentation Award at the 2019 Magnetism and Magnetic Materials (MMM) Conference in Las Vegas. The conference includes a wide range of topic on recent developments in fundamental and applied magnetism and has

Researchers from NUS are among the world’s most highly cited researchers whose research in one or more fields have consistently supported and inspired other researchers globally. Of the 27 NUS researchers named in the 2019 global highly cited researchers by Clarivate Analytics, 4 are ECE faculty members. These NUS researchers were recognised by their peers as

ECE post-graduate student won the second prize in 2019 International Collegiate Competition for Brain-Inspired Computing. The joint team from Human Language Technology Laboratory (NUS), and Multimedia and Interactive Computing Laboratory (NTU) emerged as one of the Second Prize winners in the 2019 International Collegiate Competition for Brain-Inspired Computing. The winning team is led by post-graduate

Going global with sustainable solar “I believe OYW is a great place for helping to focus on a cleaner, brighter and greener side of the energy debate, and charting out plans favouring clean energy technologies under UN Sustainable Development Goal 7. It’s also a fantastic opportunity for me to take my research to a global level
