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?

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. |

Dr Tan specilaises in urban water management, rainfall-runoff modeling as well as water quality modeling, flooding, drainage, urban response, climate change and future scenarios analysis. Managing surface water in terms of quantitative distribution, storage and transport, removal of water-borne contaminant, particularly trace quantity of drugs and pharmaceutical products from waste-water streams are challenges in the management of water resources, and in particular, supply of raw water in the face of climate change and rapid urbanisation. 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. The research work has produced meaningful results and highly cited publications since its inception in 2009.
Currently Dr Tan is leading research work on strategic development of coastal, urban scape and water resources, in response to climate change as well as developmental scenarios. |

Dr Wilson Goh | Our research activities may be broadly divided into two areas: biodata science and education technology.
Biodata science is an exciting new area where the associative technologies associated with data science and relevant thinking skills are applied onto biological and health-related problems.
These may include how to resolve batch effect problems when effecting large-scale data mergers, improving study reproducibility, and understanding how choice of normalization method impacts downstream data modeling. We are also very interested in understanding how heterogeneity and data holes impacts outcome of analysis, especially in how it affects our interpretation of the underlying biological system.
Our interest in Education technology (EdTech) pertains to the use of data analytics for analyzing student performance and also the development of software for facilitating learning. In particular, we are interested in how we may leverage on big data and machine learning to unravel indicators of human-based deep learning. Instead of fielding our work on typical classroom-type settings, our interest is in combining EdTech with high-impact practices in teaching and learning, where deep learning is more likely to take place. Currently, we focus our research on NTU’s unique Deeper Experiential Engagement Project (DEEP), a large-scale pilot experiential learning project spread across different colleges.
Examples of some recent projects include:
BioData Science and Computational Biology
1. Dealing with confounders in omics analysis
2. Enabling more sophisticated proteomic profile analysis
3. Resolving the missing protein problem using meaningful context
4. Understanding the cost of batch effects in biological big data analysis
5. Developing graph literacy skills
6. How to improve upon weak validation practices in current machine learning
Education Technology
1. Not feeling it — How does sentiment and motivation affect academic performance?
2. Using machine-based deep learning to uncover the signs of human-based deep learning
3. High-impact pedagogical practices |

Asst Prof Xia Kelin | The last century has witnessed the tremendous advancement of Biological Sciences. The availability of massive biological data, high-performance computers, efficient computational algorithms, and mathematical and physical models have paved the way for Biological Sciences to undertake a historic transition from being qualitative, phenomenological, and descriptive to being quantitative, analytical, and predictive. Under this transition, modern Mathematical Biology will be fundamentally changed from macroscale modelings (of species, population, disease, blood fluid, etc) to molecular based analysis (of protein, DNA, gene, virus, etc).
Dr. XIA's group focuses on Molecular Based Mathematical Biology (MBMB). The essential idea is to use computational tools from PDE, differential geometry, algebraic topology and statistical learning to study the biomolecular structure, flexibility, dynamics, and functions. His recent interests are topological data analysis (TDA), topology based machine learning/deep learning models, and their applications in drug design. |

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.
