NUS Computing Students Win Gold at SPLASH 2025 ACM Student Research Competition

NUS Computing Students Win Gold at SPLASH 2025 ACM Student Research Competition

Two NUS School of Computing (SoC) students have emerged victorious at the ACM Student Research Competition (SRC) held during SPLASH 2025. The SRC provides undergraduate and graduate students with the opportunity to present their research to a panel of expert judges and conference attendees, gaining feedback, recognition, and exposure to the global computing research community.

Emily Ong (Fifth Year, Double Degree in Computer Science and Pure Mathematics) secured the gold medal in the undergraduate category for her project Siloso: Finding Logic Bugs in RDBMS via Dialect-Adaptable Reference Engine Construction. Junwen An (Second Year, PhD in Computer Science)  won the gold medal in the graduate category for his research LLM-assisted Dialect-Agnostic SQL Query Parsing.

The ACM Student Research Competition recognises students who demonstrate excellence in both research and communication. Participants submit a two-page description of their original research, which is peer-reviewed before selection for the competition. Winners are invited to present their work at SPLASH and may advance to the ACM SRC Grand Finals, further showcasing their achievements on an international stage.

SoC congratulates Emily Ong and Junwen An on their outstanding accomplishments. Their success reflects the high standard of research and innovation cultivated at NUS Computing, and highlights the School’s commitment to supporting students in pushing the boundaries of computing knowledge and technology.
