About Us
Welcome to CHESS!
CHESS is an interdisciplinary research centre devoted to projects at the convergence of technology, communication and information on health, food and well-being, and environmental issues from human-centred perspectives in the Asian context.
Situated at the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information (WKWSCI), Nanyang Technological University, CHESS aims to advance knowledge, and foster innovation in order to address critical scientific, technological, and innovation challenges and gaps in computational social science – an emerging field that leverages the capacity to collect and analyze data at a scale that may reveal patterns of individual and group behaviors, facing issues relating to health, food and well-being, ageing population, science communication, and environment.
