🏆 Award Candidate at ECCV 2026!

Congratulations to ECE PhD student Mr. Zhang Shihua and his co-authors Qiuhong Shen, Shizun Wang, Tianbo Pan and Associate Professor Wang Xinchao on their paper, “Make Geometry Matter for Spatial Reasoning,” being selected as an Award Candidate at the 19th European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV 2026). The paper was also accepted as a Long Oral Presentation.

Supervised by Associate Professor Wang Xinchao, the research introduces GeoSR, a framework that helps vision-language models better leverage geometric information to reason about spatial relationships in images and videos. By combining visual and 3D geometric cues, GeoSR demonstrates improved spatial reasoning performance across static and dynamic benchmarks.

Congratulations to the team on this achievement! 👏

🏆 Distinguished Paper Award at USENIX Security ’26!

Congratulations to ECE PhD student Mr. Shi Quan, first author of “LPG: Raise Your Location Privacy Game in Direct-to-Cell LEO Satellite Networks,” on receiving a Distinguished Paper Award at the 35th USENIX Security Symposium.

Supervised by Professor Biplab Sikdar and co-authored with research collaborators, the work examines location privacy challenges in Direct-to-Cell LEO satellite networks, an emerging technology that could bring mobile connectivity to remote areas, oceans and disaster zones. 🛰️📱

The team developed LPG, a framework designed to strengthen user location privacy while maintaining network performance. The approach was also validated on a real in-orbit LEO satellite platform, demonstrating its potential under practical satellite resource constraints.

This recognition highlights the significance of the research in advancing security and privacy for next-generation communication networks.

Congratulations to Shi Quan, Prof Biplab Sikdar and all co-authors on this significant achievement! 👏

🎉 Our ECE Freshmen Welcome Party, hosted by the ECE ECE USC - Undergraduate Student Council (USC), brought our newest ECE students together for an evening of good food, great vibes and new connections! ✨

From meeting fellow batchmates to getting to know their Academic Advisors and Year 1 Cohort Representatives, it was a wonderful way to kick off your NUS ECE journey. 🍕💡

Here’s to many more memories together! 🫶

🏆 Best Paper Award at IEEE EMBC 2026

Congratulations to our ECE research team comprising Shao Yurui, Assoc Prof Arthur Tay, Assoc Prof Heng Chun Huat and Dr Yen Shih-Cheng on receiving the Best Paper Award at the 2026 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference (EMBC 2026) for their paper, “Learning Temporal Dependencies of Gait Cycles for Freezing of Gait Prediction.”

In collaboration with researchers and clinicians from National Neuroscience Institute (NNI) and Singapore General Hospital (SGH), the team developed a machine-learning approach to predict freezing of gait, a symptom that can affect people with Parkinson’s disease.

Using data from a single ankle-mounted sensor, the system achieved 90% prediction accuracy while requiring significantly less training data and time than conventional approaches.

The research could contribute to wearable technologies that provide early cues before freezing occurs, helping to reduce falls and support greater mobility and independence. 💙

A great example of how engineering and healthcare can come together to address real-world challenges.

Congratulations to the team and their collaborators on this outstanding achievement! 👏

🔬 Research Recognition | Nanoscale Horizons 2025 Outstanding Review

👏 Congratulations to Professor Ang Kah Wee, Yufei Shi and Ngoc Thanh Duong on their review being recognised as a Nanoscale Horizons 2025 Outstanding Review.

Titled “Emerging 2D materials hardware for in-sensor computing,” the review examines the potential of two-dimensional (2D) materials and van der Waals heterostructures to enable the integration of sensing, memory and computation within sensory devices.

By reducing the need to transfer data between separate sensing and computing components, in-sensor computing could enable lower latency, reduced energy consumption and more efficient edge-AI systems.

The review brings together advances in 2D materials, neuromorphic devices, optoelectronic sensing and edge computing, highlighting emerging applications including retinomorphic vision, motion detection, reservoir computing, LiDAR-inspired processing and multimodal sensing.

This recognition reflects the significance of the team’s work in advancing interdisciplinary research towards compact, energy-efficient and intelligent sensory technologies.

⚡ Welcome to NUS ECE! 💙

This summer, our freshmen kicked off their NUS ECE journey at ECHELON 2026, the ECE Orientation Camp organised by ECE Club! 🎉

Across three days of games, challenges and new friendships, our freshmen got a head start on life in Electrical and Computer Engineering. From course and curriculum planning sessions led by seniors to Scavenger Hunts and mass games, there was plenty to learn, explore and experience.

And of course, it wouldn’t be orientation without icebreakers, mascot-making, plenty of laughs and memories made along the way! 🫶

ECHELON may be over, but your ECE journey is just beginning.

Welcome to the NUS ECE family, freshmen! We’re excited to see where your journey takes you. 🚀

from NUS Computing

Meet two NUS Computing alumni quietly making Singapore more multilingual – one government website at a time.⁠
⁠
Harish Venkatesan and Hsu Zhong Jun are part of the team behind Polyglot, an AI-powered translation widget that lets Singaporeans read government content in Chinese, Malay, and Tamil. It launched recently on the MDDI and Smart Nation websites, with the longer-term goal of making translations a standard feature across all government websites.⁠
⁠
We sat down with both of them to hear about their NUS years, why they chose public service tech, and what it means to build something most users will never know exists.⁠
