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.

A paper co-authored by Jialin Li, Sung Kah Kay Assistant Professor and alumnus Dehui Wei from the Department of Computer Science won the Outstanding Paper Award at NSDI (USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation) '26, one of the top venues in computer networking and systems research.

Assistant Professor Flavien Solt and collaborators at Microsoft Research has received a Distinguished Paper award at the 2026 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy, one of the field's most selective venues.

A 2022 paper co-authored by two NUS Computing faculty members has received the Youth Achievement Award at the 10th Ministry of Education Award for Outstanding Scientific Research Achievements (Humanities and Social Sciences), one of China's most significant national recognitions for research in the humanities and social sciences. 

A research paper by Assistant Professor Lin Shao and collaborators has been selected as a finalist for the ICRA 2026 Best Paper Award, one of the highest honours at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA).

A team from NUS School of Computing took the Best Paper and Presentation Award at PPMisDet, a misinformation detection workshop held at CVPR 2026 in Denver in June.

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.

Associate Professor Bryan Low’s project on “Self-Configurable Agentic Learning via Co-Optimization” has been selected for the AWS Agentic AI Amazon Research Awards (ARA). His research explores how to unify the strengths of Context Engineering and Reinforcement Learning into a single coherent approach.

The Department of Information Systems and Analytics (DISA) at NUS Computing has been ranked 4th worldwide for research publications in Information Systems Research (ISR) and MIS Quarterly (MISQ) – the two most prestigious A+ journals in the field.

Assistant Professor Ambuj Varshney and his WEISER research group are building a way around this. His project, “TinyLLM: A Framework for Training and Deploying Language Models at the Edge Computers”, has been selected for the 2026 Google Awards for Machine Learning Research and Education with TPUs.

NUS Presidential Young Professor Umang Mathur has been awarded the Temasek-Presidential Young Professorship (T-PYP) grant for his research on safer and more secure hardware design.

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. 

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.

Assistant Professor Jiang Wenqi from the Department of Computer Science at NUS Computing has received the 2026 SIGMOD Jim Gray Doctoral Dissertation Award – the most prestigious recognition for early-career researchers in data management. 

NUS Computing Launches Inaugural Ascent Prize to Recognise the World's Rising Computing Scholars The global award identifies exceptional early-career researchers and brings them to Singapore for a programme of research exchange, mentorship and community building.

NUS School of Computing is pleased to share that NUS Presidential Young Professor Zhang Jiaheng, has been awarded the Robert Brown Promising Researcher Award under the Ministry of Education Singapore (MOE) Academic Research Fund (AcRF) Tier 2 Grant. 

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.

We are pleased to congratulate Assistant Professor Warut Suksompong on his appointment as Associate Editor of Mathematics of Operations Research, a leading journal in the mathematical foundations of operations research.
