SCALE@NTU Networking Seminar 2022

15 Nov 2022 09.30 AM - 01.30 PM Public

With the planning and preparation by NTU and NCS teams, the much-anticipated SCALE@NTU Networking Seminar 2022 was hosted on 15 Nov 2022 (Tue) in the Arc, NTU. After a long period of restriction in physical events due to the pandemic, the event provides a good opportunity for the teams to meet in person for sharing and interaction about the research innovation developed in the Corp Lab. It has attracted more than 70 attendees, including over 30 from NCS and their partners.

Prof Cong Gao, SCALE@NTU Co-Director (NTU) opened the event and welcomed all the attendees, including SCALE@NTU teams, NCS colleagues, and their invited partners. He introduced Ying Shao Wei, Chief Scientist, NCS, who oversees the technology roadmap of NCS.  Shao Wei  shared the Technology Bets of NCS and highlighted the importance of the strategic partnership between NTU and NCS in advanced AI research. Dr Sunil Sivadas, SCALE@NTU Deputy-Director (NCS) further introduced NCS Product & Platform Pillar and the Next Gen Tech practice, which drives the research in the Corp Lab.

The PIs and researchers of 12 SCALE@NTU projects presented their works to the audience highlighting the research achievements and innovations in the past few years. Several IPs have already been integrated into NCS products and platforms while many more are in the pipeline of technology translation.

Following the presentations, the teams further demonstrated the projects at the exhibition booths. They introduced the research via well-crafted posters and showcased the technologies through various demos. The NCS colleagues and their partners were invited to vote for the best posters and demos. The final winners stood out from the high competition and received the awards from Prof Cong Gao and Dr Sunil Sivadas.
