Asst Prof Gu Mile	One of the most remarkable facts about the universe is that it can be simulated on a computer. No matter what systems we study, whether it is the dynamics of planets or that of fluids, the rise of fall of tides or stock markets, they all can be simulated by a computer. This fact fascinates me. After all, a computer is typically built out of silicon; it runs via the electro-magnetic force. What a priori reason would it allow us to understand the motion of planets governed by gravity, fundamental particles govern by the strong and weak force? This universality is, when you think about, rather remarkable. Somehow, everything we know around us, can be reduced to the processing of information. My research interests are motivated by this remarkable observation. Can we find interdisciplinary laws that span multiple disciplines through the understanding of how nature fundamentally processes information? Some current directions: On outset, Quantum and complexity science appears to be very different. The former details with objects at the atomic scale – atoms, electrons and photons. The latter, on the other hand, is typically associated with macroscopic systems is many interacting components – the weather, traffic, stock markets. Yet the two science, in fact, an intimately linked; both are bring transformed by the study of information. In quantum science, new information theoretic techniques have allowed the `second quantum revolution’; heralding exciting new quantum technologies such as quantum cryptography and quantum computation. Meanwhile, in complexity science, researchers’ new ways of understanding just how massive systems interact with each other by seeing how they transform and process bits of data. My interest is to unite these two fields – by forging new connections. Can quantum computation lead to new ways of understanding complex systems? Can the use of methods of complexity science help us understand how quantum computer’s get their power and bring forth new quantum technologies? For more information, see https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg22429950-200-quantum-logic-its-simpler-to-be-two-things-at-once What Makes Quantum Computers Powerful? What are the resources behind Quantum Advantage? Quantum computers are heralded to do many things that classical computers cannot, but what resource powers this advantage? For a long time, people thought that the main culprit is quantum entanglement – the unique quantum phenomena where the realities of two spatially separated particles are closely linked. Yet we now see that this may not be the full story. DQC1, for example, seems to allow us to compute the normalized trace of an exponentially large matrix in efficient time – and yet contain negligible entanglement. Meanwhile quantum illumination allows the better detection of faint particles far away in regimes so noisy that entanglement cannot survive. What other resources are associated with improved quantum advantage? We are interested in this question both for practical and foundational concerns. On the one hand, it can lead to noise resilient quantum technologies; on the other it may tell us fundamentally what is quantum.

A viable and feasible solution is to employ wetland technology as a means to remove contaminants and management of peak runoff. Under the supervision of Dr Tan, a research team is carrying out a series of constructed wetlands experiments with raw water spiked with selected contaminants.

Asst Prof Xia Kelin	Dr. Kelin Xia's research focuses on three aspects: mathematical modeling of biomolecule, topological data analysis and elliptic interface problem. The first subject of his research is to construct multiscale geometric models based on the variational multiscale theory. With these models, the features of biomolecular surface and structure can be characterized and quantitatively analyzed. Further, these models can be used in the study of surface visualization, protein-protein interaction, drug design, protein flexibility, and protein folding. Topological data analysis is his recent interest. For the first time, he applies persistent homology in the analysis of fullerene molecule properties, i.e., topological structure, heat formation energy, and isomer stability. He utilizes persistent homology for protein rigidity, flexibility and folding analysis. He proposes a multidimensional persistence scheme and a multiresolution topological simplification method, and further applied both in excessively large biomolecular data analysis. The last subject belongs to scientific computation. A major emphasis of his research is to design robust and highly accurate schemes specifically for the elliptic interface problem from the realistic biological setting. In general, challenges come from the complex geometry originated from complicated biomolecular structure.

Assoc Prof Zhang Jie	Jie Zhang's research is in the general area of Artificial Intelligence and Multi-Agent Systems, and has been focused on trust management in open, large, dynamic and uncertain environments where users represented by software agents may be deceptive. In particular, he has been addressing the challenging robustness issue in trust management where trust systems become the target of attacks. He has also focused on designing tailored trust systems for emerging application domains (e.g. e-commerce, recommender systems, networking, etc.) to meet specific requirements imposed by the special characteristics of those different application domains. Another major direction of his research is in the design of multi-agent systems and mechanisms that create incentives for agents to behave honestly. + Artificial Intelligence + Multi-Agent Systems + Trust Management + Incentive Mechanism
