Overview
At CDE, we push boundaries to achieve world-class research excellence through the exploration and application of engineering, architecture and design to solve complex problems. We aim to pioneer a unique model of interdisciplinary research that takes advantage of the natural synergies between these fields.
Partnerships forged for coastal protection and flood management
The MOUs signed during SIWW 2024 aim to strengthen the parties’ shared commitment to developing solutions in coastal protection and flood management.
Biosensor could revolutionise flavonoid production
Innovative RNA-based sensor’s high precision detects valuable natural compounds, widely recognised for health benefits.
Breakthrough aerogels for sustainable cooling and EMW protection
Applications in radiative cooling and electromagnetic wave absorption promise enhanced energy efficiency and environmental safety.
Biomedical innovation workshop aims to boost collaboration
CDE hosts delegation from Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) for a workshop focused on biomedical research and healthcare innovation.
Taking a bite out of carbon emissions
As climate change influences weather patterns and upsets food systems, researchers think it’s time to reimagine how food is farmed to ensure its security and sustainability.
Taking a byte out of data centre emissions
A new testbed facility is launched at NUS to fast-track the testing and adoption of sustainable cooling technologies for data centres in tropical climates.
Future-proofing Singapore’s climate resilience
The Coastal Protection and Flood Resilience Institute Singapore aims to bolster local capabilities and expertise in coastal protection and flood management.
Architecting resilient, future-proof cities
NUS CDE researchers design a multi-scale, climate-sensitive framework to support urban design decision-making.
