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.
Each grant brings together NUS Computing researchers with leading AI scientists from top institutions around the world – including Stanford University, the University of Washington, the University of Oxford, Nanyang Technological University, and A*STAR.
The funded projects are:
- Professor He Bingsheng with Associate Professor Bo Li (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) – SentinelAgent: Knowledge-Enabled Secure and Responsible Agentic Systems at Scale
- Provost’s Chair Professor David Hsu with Assistant Professor Jiajun Wu (Stanford University), President’s Chair Professor Chen Change Loy (NTU), and Dr Cheston Tan (NTU) – Generalizable Embodied AI Through Physics-Grounded Neuro-Symbolic Learning
- Associate Professor Kan Min-Yen with Assistant Professor Yang Diyi (Stanford University) – Evaluating and Building Socially Intelligent Foundation Models
- Professor Lee Wee Sun with Professor Yee Whye Teh (University of Oxford) and Distinguished University Professor Luke Ong (NTU) – Ruqola: Reliable Language Agents via Uncertainty Quantification
- Associate Professor Bryan Low with Assistant Professor Pang Wei Koh (University of Washington) – Data-Centric Machine Learning at Scale
- Associate Professor Jonathan Scarlett with Associate Professor Kevin Jamieson (University of Washington) – 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 – and to building the global collaborations that make that possible.
The AIVP grants are part of Singapore’s broader national effort to position the country as a global hub for AI research and talent.
