DSO National Laboratories (DSO) and the Institute for Functional Intelligent Materials (I-FIM) held a joint 1-day workshop on 11 February 2022.
Called a “Deep-dive technical discussion” the workshop brought together teams of scientists from I-FIM and from DSO to discuss projects of joint interest, with the goal of establishing collaborations in the areas of :
- Biosensors and Photodetectors.
- Functional nanomaterials or self-healing, anticorrosion, antifouling coatings.
- New hybrid materials (for Strength, weight, temperature and impact)
- Self-repairing materials
- Machine learning
- New Batteries and energy Storage materials
The workshop saw 19 key participants and heard 8 talks by NUS scientists and 8 by DSO scientist.
The workshop ended with breakout discussions and informal lab tours of I-FIM. By the end of the workshop some partnerships were formed and talks to continue that would lead to joint projects.
