Photo and Biography of Dr. See Kiong Ng
See-Kiong NG (Ph.D., Carnegie Mellon University) is the Programme Director of the Urban Systems Initiative by the Science and Engineering Research Council of the Agency of Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR). The Initiative seeks to address the new challenges of the rapidly urbanising world through smart city technologies and innovations. See-Kiong has a long-standing interest in cross-disciplinary applied research in computer science. See-Kiong started his research career as one of the early bioinformaticians. He has since been able to apply what he had learned from bioinformatics to a wide array of other application domains. From using data mining to better understand the biology of the human body, See-Kiong is now using big data approaches to understand the systems biology of complex human cities and the internet of things. He has published widely, with more than 100 papers in leading peer-reviewed journals and conferences.
