Six NUS Computing Faculty Receive Grants Under Singapore’s AI Visiting Professorship (AIVP)
Six faculty members from the NUS School of Computing have been awarded grants under the Singapore Global AI Visiting Professorship (AIVP), an initiative by the Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI) to strengthen Singapore’s AI research capabilities and attract world-class expertise to its shores.
The grants support research across some of the most critical areas in AI today – from building systems that can act autonomously and responsibly, to developing models that understand human social context and the physical world.
The funded projects are:
- Professor He Bingsheng – SentinelAgent: Knowledge-Enabled Secure and Responsible Agentic Systems at Scale
- Provost’s Chair Professor David Hsu – Generalizable Embodied AI Through Physics-Grounded Neuro-Symbolic Learning
- Associate Professor Kan Min-Yen – Evaluating and Building Socially Intelligent Foundation Models
- Professor Lee Wee Sun – Ruqola: Reliable Language Agents via Uncertainty Quantification
- Associate Professor Bryan Low (hosted at the NUS Artificial Intelligence Institute) – Data-Centric Machine Learning at Scale
- Associate Professor Jonathan Scarlett (hosted at the NUS Artificial Intelligence Institute) – Adaptive and Resource-Efficient Sequential Decision-Making Algorithms
Together, these six projects reflect NUS Computing’s commitment to advancing AI that is not just capable, but considered – built with the rigour, breadth, and long-term perspective that meaningful progress demands.
The AIVP grants are part of Singapore’s broader national effort to position the country as a global hub for AI research and talent.
