Assistant Professor Bian Yatao and NUS Presidential Young Professor Zhang Jiaheng have been awarded the National Research Foundation (NRF) Fellowship (Class of 2026), one of Singapore’s most competitive programmes for early-career researchers.

Sean Jean (Year 4, Computer Science) has won the Singapore National Finals of the International Quant Championship (IQC), organised by WorldQuant. He will represent Singapore at the Global Finals on 6-7 October, competing against champions from 12 other countries. 

Three faculty members from NUS Computing have been awarded the prestigious National Research Foundation Investigatorship (NRF-I) under its 11th call, recognising their leadership and potential to drive high-impact research in artificial intelligence.

When Davidson Chua (Class of 2026, BSc in Business Analytics) first joined the NUS Venture Initiation Programme (VIP@SoC), he was working on his first serious attempt at building a startup. The idea focused on helping car sellers compare offers more transparently, and while the venture eventually took a different path, the experience became a crucial starting point in his entrepreneurial journey.

Harish Venkatesan has spent his career asking the same question in different rooms. At Visa's Innovation Lab, it was about payments. At Grab, it was about pricing. At the startup he co-founded, it was about retail. The question itself never really changed: who does this help, and how much does it matter?

A hiring manager conducting a 15-minute interview is doing several things simultaneously: listening, evaluating, planning the next question, and writing it all down before it disappears. In a formative study of eight HR professionals, researchers from NUS Computing, together with collaborators from recruitment software firm Avature, found that participants put it plainly: "I need to try to remember everything, and also assess the candidate at the same time."

Professor Abhik Roychoudhury spent decades working on how to make software fix itself. His research at NUS Computing became AutoCodeRover, was acquired by Sonar in 2025, and now underpins a commercial offering used by developers worldwide  — SonarQube Remediation Agent.

The next time you search for a flight and watch the price jump $200 overnight, you might feel like the system is rigged against you. And you wouldn't be alone. Few things irritate travellers quite like the volatility of airline fares, that nagging sense that some algorithm, somewhere, is squeezing every last dollar from your wallet. 

Training a large language model is not just about writing good code and pressing run. These models are spread across hundreds or thousands of processors – such as Google's Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), specialised accelerators designed to train and serve large-scale machine learning models – that must learn to work in lockstep: exchanging data, splitting tasks, staying synchronised. When something goes wrong, the whole system slows down, and expensive hardware sits idle. 

SonarSource has globally launched SonarQube Remediation Agent at ATxSummit 2026 in Singapore. The product is the commercial evolution of AutoCodeRover, an AI agent for automated software bug repair developed by Professor Abhik Roychoudhury and his team at NUS Computing's Trustworthy and Secure Software research group.

NUS School of Computing has been recognised with the OpenGov Asia Recognition of Excellence Award 2026 for its ScholAIstic AI-driven learning platform, developed by the AI Centre for Educational Technologies (AICET).

NUS Presidential Young Professor Yang You from NUS Computing's Department of Computer Science has been selected for the Google 2026 Awards for Machine Learning Research and Education with TPUs.

For the roughly 500 million people living with diabetes worldwide, even a small cut or blister on the foot can become a crisis. Diabetic wounds heal slowly, resist treatment, invite infection, and in severe cases lead to amputation. Doctors have limited options, and the search for better therapies is painfully slow.

Team Kent Ridge, the eight NUS Computing students secured first place overall at SBCC’26, outperforming 13 international teams, many of which had prior competition experience and established HPC backgrounds.

What began with a $2,000 seed fund has become one of NUS School of Computing’s largest flagship events.The 28th edition of STePS brought close to 95 student projects across 11 tracks into COM3, drawing over 1,000  guests – from faculty and industry leaders to government agencies, sponsors, and investors.

Every day, millions of lines of code are written without a single human typing them. AI coding assistants have become the fastest-growing contributors to software projects worldwide – generating, completing, and committing code at a pace no human team can match.

Two papers from the Augmented Human Lab have earned Honourable Mention Awards at ACM CHI 2026, the world’s leading conference in human-computer interaction. The award recognises the top 5% of accepted papers for their originality, rigour, and potential impact.

A new model that teaches AI to understand and create music – across audio waveforms, symbolic notation, and text – has won Best Paper Award at the 32nd International Conference on Multimedia Modeling (MMM 2026), held in Prague, Czech Republic from 29 to 31 January 2026.

Two faculty members from NUS Computing have been selected as StarTrack scholars by Microsoft Research Asia, Assistant Professor Yatao Bian and Sung Kah Kay Assistant Professor Jialin Li.

The AI for Social Good (AI4SG) Lab, led by Assistant Professor Lee Yi-Chieh from the Department of Computer Science, has earned four Honourable Mention Awards at ACM CHI 2026 – the world's premier conference in human-computer interaction.
