Did You Know: NUS Computing student Benjamin Long is co-founder of Beep Technologies, the startup behind the tech that powers the vending machines dispensing masks, test kits and tokens! 😉

Beep was also previously incubated at the Furnace, our early-stage startup incubator. Beep has come a long way since then, providing over 30 million masks, 1.3 million Trace Together tokens, and 2.5 million ART kits to date. Well done, Benjamin and everyone at Beep! 💪

Check out the cool tech by Beep in this video below!

Congrats to NUS Computing Professor Ooi Beng Chin for winning the University Research Recognition Award! The award recognises researchers whose works have impacted & advanced the frontiers of knowledge, & positioned NUS at the forefront of their areas of expertise.

Prof Ooi's research on the fundamental data and systems abstractions of modern data-driven applications laid the foundation for the design & implementation of systems that are not only efficient and robust, but also scalable and secure.

His other extensive research, which ranges from end-to-end pipeline supporting all data processing steps to complex data analytics, yielded a large-scale software system that significantly improves on prior research-focused systems. The rigorous algorithmic and theoretical results were published in top journals & international conferences.

Congrats, prof Ooi!

As COVID crept across the world, confining people to their homes and chaining them to their desks — for work, school, and play — NUS Computing Assoc Prof Zhao Shengdong and his PhD student Ashwin Ram wondered if learning could be done dynamically, on-the-go. Armed with a pair of smart glasses and a new idea to change the way videos are presented, they set off to find out if they could enhance the online learning experience.
