Chair Professorships

On 31 March 2021, NTU President Prof Subra Suresh announced the new appointments of 26 named professorships at NTU. These appointments follow the initiative announced in March 2019 with 50 named faculty chair professorships.

The remarkable accomplishments of our faculty in research, education and innovation have benefitted pedagogy, knowledge creation, industry and society. They have also contributed significantly to NTU’s continued and impressive rise as a high-impact and internationally-recognised university. 

Named chair professorships recognise the achievements of early-career, mid-career and senior faculty colleagues. They serve as an important tool to attract, nurture and retain outstanding faculty at different stages of their academic careers.  

We are proud to announce that two SCSE faculty members are among the appointees of the 2021 faculty chair professorships. 

Our heartiest congratulations to the outstanding faculty on their well-deserved recognition!
