Research and innovation are core to our strategy. We aspire to be a leading institution where impact-driven technologists come together from around the planet to re-invent the human experience.
The focus of our research is not to just understand and expand the edges of human knowledge. It is to reimagine what’s possible. Our research is inventive, experimental, agile, and bold.
Our teaching and research are synergistic. We recognise the coupling of teaching and research in all that we do and engage all our academic staff in both. We ensure that the duality of our mission is reflected in all of our operations.
Tech for good
The school strives to be a leading force for technological innovations that benefit all people at large by incubating and driving a diverse range of “Tech for Good” initiatives, tackling some of the age-old challenges of humanity.
Our online open-source hub, currently in development, will support collaboration on projects by staff and students. We will publish full details and access arrangements when this is live.
Curriculum integration
Students are encouraged to align their academic course requirements (projects and assignments) with the opportunities in these initiatives. The benefits include:
- More meaningful and enjoyable learning experiences.
- Better and deeper learning, due to higher motivation and energy.
- Opportunity to showcase their work to potential employers.
On the flip side, this enables progress and traction on some highly ambitious ideas that would be too risky to resource commercially – ideas with profound potential for impact.
Ideas to shape a better future
Students and academic staff can propose new ideas of their own, either as brand-new projects or as enhancements to established projects. Or they can work on existing ideas proposed by members of the public. The following are some of the ideas from the founders, which can be a starting point for the hub:
This project provides a valuable resource for those seeking to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, as well as those looking to better understand the people they care about. It offers a more comprehensive, personalised approach to mental health. This allows users to gain insight into their own values and traits, as well as to compare and analyse their compatibility with others. View project |
Dream Pal will take into account the individual’s personality, values, and aspirations, as well as the needs of the position. This will help users find their ideal job and workplace fit. This platform will help reduce friction and make people more content and productive at work. View project |
This will predict the quality of potential relationships. Users also benefit from a safe, secure, and easy way to meet new people, and they can build meaningful connections with each other on the platform. The platform also offers movie nights, game nights, and events for users. Last but not least, the platform strives to create an experience that lasts. View project |
This will put the power of decision-making in the hands of citizens to serve the greater good of the public. We strive to encourage people to have a say in politics and to take part in the governing process. Our expectation is that this will result in more informed decisions and more effective administration. View project |
Youth can utilise this platform to make informed decisions about their future by using it as a resource. Additionally, individuals can gain access to resources they might not otherwise have access to, such as mentors and career advisers. View project |
Secondly, it can help improve the safety of citizens by providing them with a means of quickly accessing footage of suspicious activities. Thirdly, it can protect citizens’ privacy by ensuring that their footage is not stored online or accessible to third parties. A fourth benefit is that it is very simple to install and very cost-effective. Finally, it may help reduce the cost of traditional neighbourhood watch systems by providing an alternative that is extremely affordable. View project |
All user data will be stored on their own personal storage platform, such as Google Drive, so that it remains completely private and secure. The client-side app or website will be responsible for fetching the latest version of a user’s JSON feed and decoding it to create the UI feed. This will eliminate the need for any ads or tracking, and the prioritisation algorithms will be based on the best user experience rather than maximising ad revenue. This platform will ensure that users have complete control over their content and data, as well as the security of their data. View project |
By integrating with platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram, it allows users to privately set preferred frequencies for meeting their contacts. The app then automatically matches these preferences, syncs with calendars, and organises events to enhance social connections and cultivate deeper friendships. View project |
