Congratulations to Associate Professor Vincent Tan <\/strong>who has been awarded the Young Researcher Award<\/strong> at the NUS University Awards 2019 on 28 May.<\/p>\n

“To solve deep and fundamental problems in the information sciences, developing new mathematical results along the way that will have wide applicability in science and engineering.”\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>– Associate Professor Vincent Tan, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, NUS.<\/p>\n

Dean\u2019s Chair Associate Professor Vincent Tan is a rising star in information theory. He is known internationally for his works on finite-length fundamental limits which shape the design of low-latency networked communication systems.<\/p>\n

One of Vincent\u2019s most significant achievements is in establishing an impossibility result for point-to-point communication systems that matches Strassen\u2019s achievable result from the 1960s. No communication protocol can improve on this performance bound. Vincent\u2014together with his collaborators\u2014has also derived similarly stunning results for multi-user networks.Dean\u2019s Chair Associate Professor Vincent Tan is a rising star in information theory. He is known internationally for his works on finite-length fundamental limits which shape the design of low-latency networked communication systems.<\/p>\n

In addition, Vincent authored and published a sole-authored research monograph in the Foundations and Trends\u00ae in Communications and Information Theory. New mathematical theorems constitute by-products of these analyses and are applicable to machine learning tasks such as the estimation of graphs from data.<\/p>\n

Vincent publishes extensively in top journals such as the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, Communications in Mathematical Physics and the SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics. Vincent is a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Information Theory Society. He received the MIT EECS thesis prize and was awarded an NRF Fellowship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
