Led by researchers from A*STAR IMRE and Stanford University, in collaboration NTU and SUTD – A global review of advancements in integrating metasurfaces—thin planar arrays of nanostructures—into optoelectronic devices highlights their potential to transform technologies such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, optical modulators, and photodetectors.

LionsBot is one of the fastest growing companies in Singapore, ranking fifth in The Straits Times‘ annual list. SUTD’s Associate Professor Mohan Rajesh Elara is one of the company’s founders.

SUTD’s Associate Provost for Research, Professor Chua Chee Kai, and Assistant Professor Xiong Zehui are among the 108 awardees from Singapore on Clarivate’s 2024 list of Highly Cited Researchers.

Post-doctoral research fellows Shane Kyi Hla Win and Danial Sufiyan Shaiful were inspired to replicate this movement in a piece of technology that can reduce the electronic waste generated in weather forecasting.

Spectral sensors are an integral part in digital cameras and mobile phones. To exhibit color sensitivity, color filters are fabricated above photodiodes. However, processes that rely on the sequential fabrication of each filter are cost ineffective. In collaboration with LiteOn Semiconductor, we introduce an approach to produce at least 16 distinct filters based on a single low-resolution lithographic step with a minimum feature size of 0.6 μm.

Channel News Asia Talking Point, Engineering Product Development Associate Prof Mohan showcases the Falcon robot which inspects false ceilings for rodents infestations.

Traditional methods such as soft lithography fabrication which requires cleanroom facilities have limitations in achieving fully automated 3D interconnected microchannels.

Singapore-headquartered EduTech startup Wefaa Robotics has recently raised undisclosed seed funding to expand its market, as well as deepen its research and product innovation. The investment, led by Zelos Megatrends Fund and SUTD Venture Holdings, will enable Wefaa to multiply its technological capabilities, strengthen the development team, and expand its product offerings. Wefaa will also invest in growing its customer base and establishing strategic partnerships to achieve sustainable success.

A total of $60 million will be allocated to the National Robotics Programme (NRP) to advance robotic technologies and promote wider adoption across manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare sectors. This funding will specifically support the RoboCluster initiative, acting as a research and development (R&D) collaboration platform for NRP’s engagement with industries. The inaugural session will be held at SUTD in July.
