Title:

Adapt to Solve 

Speaker:

Dr Malcolm Eugene Tessensohn  (Lead Engineer, Drug Detection, Automation Solutions,  ​Corrections and Narcotics Programme Management Centre, HTX ) ​

Synopsis:
Real-world challenges rarely fit within a single discipline, and highly impactful solutions arise at the intersection of science and engineering. Drawing on examples from HTX (Home Team Science and Technology Agency), this talk invites young researchers to move beyond fixed labels and see themselves as adaptable, solutions-oriented critical thinkers who grow with the challenges they pursue.

Quantum Materials for Quantum Technologies

Speaker:

Dr Lau Chit Siong Aaron ​(Principal Scientist I , Pillar Director, Quantum Devices & Electronics, A*STAR Quantum Innovation Centre , Adjunct Assistant Professor, SUTD )

Synopsis:

Quantum computers are transformative technologies with disruptive applications in many fields, including finance, logistics, aerospace, agriculture, medicines, communications, and simulations. To get to a universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer capable of such behemoth tasks, radical solutions are needed to address the challenges of quantum computers today, mainly in the area of quality and quantity. Current versions are mainly based on well-known material systems such as superconducting circuits and silicon, but emerging quantum materials with intrinsic quantum phenomena may present intriguing opportunities. ​
