The Center for Environmental Sensing and Modeling (CENSAM) is pleased to invite you to its 9th Annual Workshop on Wednesday 22nd June 2016. In this year’s programme, we explore three themes: Accomplishments, Innovations, and Visions. The day will end with a panel discussion.
The Accomplishments session will showcase projects funded by the CENSAM Research Initiative Programme (indicated with *), a new effort to encourage junior scientists to drive their own research activities. In addition, two MIT faculty will present keynote talks.
The Innovations session will explore the process of commercialising research. Dr Howard Califano (Director, SMART Innovation Centre) will present a keynote talk. Four shorter talks will introduce research that is contributing to the innovation ecosystem in Singapore, with potential global impact.
The Visions session will look forward to the future, outlining some bleeding edge research ideas. Speakers include three MIT faculty, alongside faculty from NTU and NUS.
A panel of lead researchers and faculty from MIT, NUS, Cambridge, and ETH Zurich will discusspathways for reducing outdoor temperatures and improving thermal comfort for a more livable Singapore. Before taking questions from the audience, panel members will summarize current local and international efforts to reduce urban temperatures by, for example, reducing heat sources or changing surface properties of buildings, outline needed research in Singapore, and examine opporturities to better assess and improve the thermal comfort of those engaged in outdoor activities
We look forward to your participation at CENSAM's 9th Annual Workshop. To register, please click the button below. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require further information.
