Apart from dressing up as Buzz Lightyear for his lectures on cardinality, NUS Computing Assoc Prof Terence Sim also conducts fascinating research in areas such as biometrics and computational photography. Check out his work on how a person's gait - the way a person walks - could potentially help smartphones to verify if it is with its rightful owner at all times!

When the pandemic struck in early 2020, Assoc Prof Tan Sun Teck faced a monumental challenge: What did it mean for the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) 2020 contest he was charged with organising? ๐ค
For the first time in IOI's history, the organising committee was forced to move the Olympiad online. Find out how Singapore conducted two editions of the IOI in 2020 and 2021 online, and how organisers prevented unprecedented problems, such as cheating, when its participants were spread all over the globe.

[๐ง๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐' ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ] Youโve heard of Game of Thronesโฆbut have you heard of GAME OF TONES? ๐ถ ๐น โ๏ธ
Learning by playing - thatโs what our faculty members at NUS Computing wanted to achieve with this fun, music contest for students!
Game of Tones is run on the Source Academy, an immersive, online virtual environment where Computing freshmen learn programming skills as part of the CS1101S Programming Methodology module.
Game of Tones challenges students to be creative and to flex their programming muscles by using programming to generate sounds or music, elegantly and concisely. This could be replicating a favourite song with programming, or composing an entirely new song. At the end of the contest, students get to vote for the best programmed songs, and generally just have fun at an online โmusic partyโ! ๐ฅณ
