Assistant Professor Thomas Yeo – Early Career Investigator Award for Human Brain Mapping

Assistant Professor Thomas Yeo (NUS – Electrical and Computer Engineering) is the 2019 recipient of the prestigious Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) Early Career Investigator Award.

This honor is awarded to one scientist each year for significant contributions to the field of human brain mapping. Previous winners include Russ Poldrack (Stanford), Randy Buckner (Harvard) and Steve Smith (Oxford).

Thomas is the first person from Asia to receive this award in the 25-year history of the organization.

Thomas’s lab develops machine learning algorithms to automatically generate scientific discoveries from large-scale data sets comprising thousands of subjects with brain magnetic resonance imaging, behavioral, genetic and other physiological measures. His group is especially known for estimating high quality atlases of brain networks, which are widely used as references to study human brain organization and disorders.

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
