Professor Tulika Mitra, Dean of NUS Computing, delivered a presentation at the IBM Research Day with NUS

Today, Professor Tulika Mitra, Dean of NUS Computing, delivered a presentation on open ecosystem for energy-efficient AI accelerators at the IBM Research Day with NUS — an event organised by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) in collaboration with IBM Research and the National University of Singapore (NUS). She was among the distinguished speakers who shared their perspectives at the event.

As part of the event, experts from IBM and NUS explored emerging technologies shaping the future of digital infrastructure, including AI models and use cases, AI trustworthiness and sustainability, AI platforms, infrastructure and accelerators, semiconductors, quantum computing, and quantum-safe security.

This session is part of IMDA’s Technical Sharing Session, which provides a regular platform for leading researchers to share insights on emerging tech topics. Attendees had the opportunity to deepen their knowledge, engage with fellow professionals, and explore new opportunities for collaboration and innovation.

When asked about the importance of such sharing sessions, Professor Mitra said, 

“Singapore already has a very thriving digital ecosystem, what we want to do is to provide leadership in AI, particularly from Asia. And this partnership between IMDA, universities as well as leading research labs like IBM, is going to bring all of us together, to really accelerate this progress, where we can get the insights from both the public agencies as well as the private companies and we can use that in order to accelerate our research and contribute to ideas that will create a future that is far more exciting.”
