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...
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...
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...
Modelled after the UK's University Challenge and held in February, the 2025 edition of the CoS Challenge saw teams from each of the College’s four Schools competing to win SGD1,000 worth of shopping vouchers and the title of “Best Team.” Teams had to answer a series...
A team of scientists from the NTU School of Biological Sciences have carried out research into how plants react to stressful conditions and devised a computational method that allows scientists to predict how plants will respond to complex environmental stresses. Their paper discussing their research and new computational method was recently accepted into the prestigious scientific journal, Nature Communications.
The newly-launched Master of Science in Chemical Sciences and Instrumentation programme covers advanced chemistry concepts, instruments, data science, and technopreneurship. We interview a professor and a student in the programme to learn more about it.
A URECA study with Asst Prof Edward Park at NIE gave ASE student Ang Wei Jing the opportunity to study the world’s largest river, the Amazon. With her project “Remote Sensing of Rivers” she won the URECA Research Excellence Award, and now she is publishing her results in a top journal.
Atomically thin materials known as quantum spin Hall insulators have unusual properties that can be used to create error-resistant quantum computers. Nanyang Assistant Professor Bent Weber and Dr Michael Lodge survey the development of this exciting research field.
In November 2020, a team of three physics students from SPMS took part in the University Physics Competition (UPC), an international competition for physics undergraduates. The team received a Bronze Award, given to teams placing between the top 17% to 46% amongst...
Congratulations to Assistant Professor Patrick Martin (ASE) and Associate Professor Soo Han Seen (SPMS) for winning the College of Science (CoS) collaborative research project to develop a more environmentally friendly procedure for nitrate analysis.
