Advanced Engineering Platform
The Advanced Engineering Platform (AEP) aims to undertake frontier research and educational innovation in engineering and technology that will contribute to the sustainable socioeconomic development in Southeast Asia. Our vision is to strive towards becoming the regional and international centre of research in the area of advanced engineering to support smart and sustainable living.
Key focus areas
AEP focuses on four clusters in:
Smart Industry, Smart Living
Develops various technologies and applications that can support industries in achieving higher productivity and also improve the daily living of humans.
Clean Energy and Portable Water
Envisions an equitable and sustainable society where everyone has clean water, renewable energy and a healthy environment in which to grow and thrive.
Smart Health Care
Focuses on using data to improve health care.
Nanotechnology
Focuses on engineering materials and systems at the nanoscale, and explores into the endless possibilities of nanotechnology for the benefits of humansociety.
