The Singapore-ETH Centre was established in 2010 by ETH Zurich - The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and Singapore's National Research Foundation (NRF), as part of the NRF's CREATE campus. As ETH Zurich's only research centre outside of Switzerland, the centre has strengthened the research capacity of ETH Zurich to develop sustainable solutions to global challenges in Switzerland, Singapore, and the surrounding regions.
Set in Asia, in a rapidly urbanising region, the Singapore-ETH Centre aims to provide practical solutions to some of the most pressing challenges in urban sustainability, resilience, and health through its programmes: Future Cities Lab Global (FCL Global) and Future Health Technologies (FHT).
The centre serves as an intellectual hub for research, uniting principal investigators and researchers from diverse disciplines and backgrounds. To foster the exchange of ideas and expertise, our researchers actively collaborate with universities, research institutes, industry, and government agencies to translate knowledge into practical solutions for real-world problems.
The AIS Instrumentation Gym is a multi-tier ML platform developed collaboratively by the National University of Singapore and the Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC) for shared scientific instruments (e.g., electron microscopy, X-ray imaging, and light microscopy). It supports researchers across three compute scales: laptop-based prototyping (S-Gym), single-GPU workstations (M-Gym), and multi-node HPC at the National Supercomputing Centre Singapore (L-Gym).
The Gym's goal is to bridge the gap between high-dimensional scientific data and hypothesis generation. It accomplishes this by transforming raw imaging data into learned, interpretable representations that scientists can navigate: revealing patterns, anomalies, and structures at scales human intuition can no longer grasp unaided.
As a comprehensive ecosystem, the Gym brings together domain scientists, ML researchers, and systems builders around a common platform. We are currently hiring full-time engineers and researchers to build, validate, and scale this initiative.
