To equip lawyers with the skills to harness disruptive technologies that are impacting the future of law, NUS Computing and law firm Rajah & Tann worked together to develop a 7-course technology program, which included topics in design thinking, financial technology, application programming interface, robotic process automation, business analytics, and blockchain.

A total of 22 Rajah & Tann participants from the firm’s technology interest group completed the training and attended the virtual graduation ceremony yesterday. Congratulations to these participants!

From clocks and soft toys, to lighters and even spray bottles, spy cameras can be hidden anywhere and everywhere. 😱 📸 Computer Science PhD student Sriram Sami shows us how to detect hidden cameras with the help of his Laser Assisted Photography Detection (LAPD) app!

The LAPD app was developed by Sriram and two other NUS Computing PhD students, Sean Tan and Sun Bangjie, as well as Asst Prof Han Jun from Yonsei University, in 2020. Watch the video to find out how it works!
