Urban Infrastructure
The Urban Infrastructure pillar explores the question of how hard and soft infrastructures might affect urban development and resilience. It also explores how these infrastructures evolve in response to hazards, and the connectivity between places that enable the flows of people, goods, services, information and energy.
Much more than just the physical and built environment, Urban Infrastructure encompasses the material, socio-cultural, economic, and legal-regulatory systems that govern, optimise, and advance our cities.

Technocratic Regionalism in Southeast Asia: The Translational Politics of Smart City Knowledge Transfer
This project will explore the translational politics of smart city knowledge transfer, and how these politics implicate urban environments throughout Southeast Asia.
Cool Paints Trials in Schools to Mitigate UHI Effects
The project aims to collect data to assess the efficacy of cool paints in mitigating the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects in selected Singapore schools through the deployment of micro-scale sensors and remote sensing platforms.
An Exponential Cone Programming Approach for Managing Electric Vehicle Charging
Motivated by the operational challenges of public charging stations, such as EVgo, Tesla, and Chargepoint, this project formulates the problem of scheduling vehicle charging to minimize the expected total cost as a stochastic program and solve it using exponential cone program (ECP) approximations.
