The National University of Singapore (NUS) will offer a new major in geospatial intelligence that will train students to harness geospatial data and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) to address complex problems in climate change mitigation, smart city design, business planning and more.

The National University of Singapore’s School of Computing (NUS Computing) is deepening the integration of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technologies across its curriculum and student learning experiences through a collaboration with OpenAI, as part of the School’s broader strategy to prepare Computing graduates for a world increasingly shaped by AI. 

A new research centre at the National University of Singapore (NUS) is bringing together data science, AI and computational methods with deep insights from social sciences and humanities to better understand complex social phenomena and develop solutions to pressing societal challenges. By combining technological innovation with human insight, the Centre for Computational Social Science and Humanities (CSSH) aims to generate research that improves lives, strengthens institutions, preserves cultural knowledge, and shapes more inclusive and resilient societies in Singapore and beyond.

In a room of 20 computing students, sometimes only three are women. At the NUS School of Computing, women make up 23.7% of undergraduates (AY24/25). The gender ratio remains uneven – a reality that shapes classroom dynamics in subtle yet tangible ways. 

For Eugene and Glenn, sustainability did not begin as a grand mission. It started with frustration – high electricity bills, limited visibility, and the sense that energy was being wasted in ways no one could clearly explain or control. Eugene Chia, a Computer Science graduate from NUS School of Computing, and Glenn Quah, a final-year Information Systems student, are co-founders of Ecovolt, a startup developing smart energy solutions for schools and commercial buildings. Together with their third co-founder, Raphael, they are building systems that help organisations see, understand, and reduce energy waste at scale.
