Our heartiest congratulations to Assoc Prof Zhang Hua on the conferment of NTU’s most prestigious award!
We are pleased to announce that with the conclusion of the recent Promotion and Tenure Exercise (PT7), Dr Joachim Loo Say Chye has been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure.
The promotion will take effect from 1 March 2012.
Please join us in congratulating Dr Joachim Loo on his promotion.
We are proud to announce that Professor Subbu Venkatraman has been awarded the 2011 Nanyang Awards for Innovation and Entrepreneurship for his work on biodegradable occluder devices.
In an attempt to address the drawbacks of current non-degradable devices to correct a congenital condition resulting in Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO), or more commonly known to the public as “hole-in-the-heart”, Professor Venkatraman improved upon commercially-available “Double Umbrella” occluder devices by designing and making such devices biodegradable. Taking the success in developing biodegradable PFO devices one step further, Professor Venkatraman is currently in the process of using the same technology, with slight design variations, to address another condition known as Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA).
Launched in 2005, the Nanyang Awards are NTU’s most prestigious Awards granted to honour faculty, staff and students whose outstanding contributions and achievements have bought distinction and pride to the University. The Nanyang Award for Innovation & Entrepreneurship gives the highest recognition to individuals or teams who have made significant contributions to the creation of a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem at NTU, and contributed to Singapore’s economic and national development through the creation of entrepreneurial leaders and new business ventures.
