Conversion of forest to agricultural land is one of the biggest threats to wildlife in Asia. ASE PhD student Anushka Rege has investigated the potential of cashew plantations in India as habitat for wild animals, showing that though forests remain irreplaceable, cashew plantations could serve as a supplementary habitat for local animals, if well-managed.
After Typhoon Goni hit the Philippines in 2020, researchers from ASE’s Disaster Analytics for Society Lab worked together to develop a damage prediction model, as well as hosted a mapathon, which has the potential to not only minimise greater loss in future disasters, but also to improve efficiency in relief efforts.
Dr Zheng Yiying has recently launched a new chemistry module in SPMS that provides an overview of regulations in pharmaceutical drugs, biologics, and medical devices. We caught up with Dr Zheng to ask about her background, and her reasons for creating this new course.
As COVID-19 spreads across the world, Assistant Professor Pun Chi Seng investigates an efficient social distancing policy (ESDP) with the use of stochastic epidemic modeling and deep learning algorithms, in which this methodology could be used for future unexpected pandemics.
Working under Assistant Professor Marek Mutwil, a group of twenty-three SBS students from the module BS1009 have built and launched www.fungi.guru, a new informational resource for studying fungi.
In this interview, we speak to Kow Zi Shan, a former science communications #SGUnited Trainee with the College of Science and alumna of the Asian School of the Environment.
