1. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Researchers will develop AI algorithms to enhance search, extraction and learning of knowledge from operational data collected in workplace environments, and to develop reusable data-driven conversational agents (or “chatbots”) for intelligent and collaborative interactions with humans.

2. Healthcare

Researchers will look at equipping hospitals with distributed and coordinated intelligence to improve their operational and clinical efficiency by facilitating sensing, understanding and interaction. Some potential applications include monitoring and active intervention for patients in the Emergency Department and monitoring of healthcare workers and human factors to improve performance.

3. Cybersecurity

Researchers will conduct network-centric cybersecurity research and develop novel solutions for deployment in enterprises and industries. They will also develop an experimental cybersecurity testbed to demonstrate cybersecurity solutions.

4. Urban Infrastructure

Researchers will develop enhanced collection and processing strategies as well as network infrastructure and data-driven solutions to enable applications such as transportation planning, predictive maintenance under network variability, and traffic management for autonomous vehicles.

5. Future Workforce and Productivity

Combining NUS’ educational expertise with Cisco’s experience in workforce training, researchers will harness technology to develop the best learning practices to generate greater productivity.
