Research

From theoretical research to industry-ready solutions, our students and faculty engage in impactful, world-class research across all areas of computer science. ​
Over S$200 million in funds support our research projects, which range from improving open source software applications, to developing advanced, high-fidelity prototypes for commercial use.​

We value the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship — offering support in the form of our in-house startup incubator, The Furnace, which has nurtured more than 50 active companies founded by our staff and alumni to date.

Our Research Area
