NUS Computing is pleased to share that Assistant Professor Umang Mathur has been awarded the 2026 Robert Brown Promising Researcher Award under the Ministry of Education Singapore (MOE) Academic Research Fund (AcRF) Tier 2 grant. 

NUS has risen to 15th place globally in the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings 2027, its highest-ever position since the rankings were established. The University remains at 3rd in Asia and 1st in Singapore.

NUS School of Computing has appointed Dr He Ruijie, Executive Director of the Embodied AI Centre (EAIC), as Professor of Practice, on a joint appointment, in the Department of Computer Science, with effect from 22 September 2026.

A Year 2 NUS Computer Engineering student built a 3D campus with air-quality readings, climate games and a tiny racing shuttle to test a new way of making climate change harder to ignore.

"Success looks instant from the outside, but it’s built slowly, relentlessly, over years," Arun Shenoy says. "An overnight success is usually a decade in the making." He says this to NUS Computing students who have something creative running alongside their degree. His own version of that started here. He arrived in January 2003 on an NUS Research Scholarship, which covered his fees and gave him a living allowance, and finished a Master of Science by research in 2004 with a thesis on tracking key, chord and rhythm in recorded music.

Six alumni have been named recipients of the Outstanding Young Computing Alumni Award 2025. The award recognises NUS Computing graduates whose achievements and contributions bring honour to the University and the School.
