Careers

The Institute for Functional Intelligent Materials (I-FIM) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) was newly established on 1 September 2021. Headed by world-renowned physicists Nobel Laureate Prof. Sir Konstantin Novoselov and NUS Distinguished Prof. Antonio Castro Neto, I-FIM will be the world’s first institute dedicated to the design, synthesis, and application of Functional Intelligent Materials (FIMs). Its global vision is to create a platform to develop FIMs with predetermined properties and autonomous, dynamic functionalities which can respond to changing environmental conditions. I-FIM will then investigate the use of such materials for smart applications in various sectors of technology and medicine.
