From her first steps into SPMS as a freshman to leading the student body as SPMS Club President, Kang Qi’s journey has been shaped by curiosity, connection and a drive to give back. Drawn to the versatility of mathematics and inspired by the warmth of the SPMS...
Inspired by Nature: Enhancing p53 to Prevent Cancer Before It Starts Cancer incidence is rising globally, with one in four individuals expected to develop the disease during their lifetime. This sobering statistic has driven decades of research into the...
On 25 June 2025, clusters of school educators gathered in quiet anticipation for a day of discovery and exchange. The Learning Journey for Educators to NTU College of Science (CoS), now in its 4th edition, felt like a time of reunion and rediscovery. Hosted by NTU’s...
Meet Luan Rong, Class of 2025—a passionate mathematics student whose SPMS journey has been shaped by curiosity, community, and resilience. From switching fields to finding her research niche, Luan Rong has embraced every opportunity to grow, both as a scholar and a...
Class of 2024 graduate Lo Hsuan reflects on a meaningful undergraduate journey at SPMS, NTU, and how the experiences shaped his path toward graduate studies at MIT. From representing Singapore in international competitions to uncovering the collaborative nature of...
On June 25 and 26, a group of students from Yuan Ching Secondary School (YCSS) had the chance to explore life as a young scientist when they took part in the NTU Campus Science Trail. This two-day immersive experience, organised by student volunteers from the...
Letian Yu (PhD, Physics and Applied Physics) investigates how Dirac quasiparticles behave in systems where energy is not conserved—an unconventional but increasingly relevant direction in modern physics. Through a combination of theoretical modelling and...
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...
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...
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...
