Chan Long Shan has designed a microwave diagnostic system for a next-generation fusion energy device for this final year project. This diagnostic will be used to characterise turbulence in burning plasma, a key phenomenon in achieving scientific breakeven. By...
The Elusive High-Tc Superinductor: A Leap Toward Scalable Quantum Hardware
Quantum computers hold the promise of solving problems far beyond the capabilities of today’s supercomputers. At the heart of these systems are qubits—particularly, fluxonium qubits, which require superinductors to preserve delicate quantum states. But conventional...
Estimating Uncertainty in Neural Networks
Physicists know that no measurement is meaningful without an estimate of its error. Keane studied how to estimate the uncertainty in neural network predictions. As part of his final year project at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS), Keane...
Tracing Waves Through Plasma: Beam Tracing for Stellarators
As part of his final year project at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS), Eduard Wikarta (Year 4, PHMS) delved into the complex world of plasma physics and computational diagnostics. His project focused on simulating how microwave beams...
Pushing the Frontiers of Quantum Decomposition
Fourth-year students at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS), Nanyang Technological University, have the opportunity to embark on Final Year Projects (FYPs) that challenge their understanding of scientific concepts while encouraging them to...
Exploring the World: SPMS Students Share Their GEM Explorer Exchange Experiences
At the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS), we believe that global experiences are invaluable for personal and academic growth. Through the GEM Explorer Financial Assistance, students can embark on enriching exchange programmes without the heavy weight...
Rising sea levels: a nuanced approach
Writing in the scientific journal Earth’s Future, Dr. Benjamin Grandey, a Senior Research Fellow, and Professor Chew Lock Yue both at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS) at NTU Singapore, together with collaborators present a novel approach that combines both ice-sheet modelling as well as expert assessment into a single projection.
