Dr. Umayal Lakshmanan is a drug discovery scientist at Experimental Drug Development Centre, A*STAR (Agency for Science Technology and Research). She obtained her PhD from Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, NUS. Her expertise is in Drug discovery projects in the fields of Oncology and Infectious diseases. She was project leader for several drug discovery collaboration projects with local and international Institutes and Universities. She started her career in drug discovery by leading an ASTAR-BMRC-DSTA grant project in collaboration with DSO to develop and establish a new technology platform for antimicrobial drug discovery, using a whole animal assay for high throughput screening. She was the project leader for the NMRC grant based TB drug discovery project responsible for target-based whole cell high throughput screen for inhibitors and activators of the mycobacterial caseinolytic protease (Clp) degradation complex. She was part of the highly successful SPRINT-TB international collaboration team and led the project for Theme-1 on whole cell High Throughput Screening for identification of novel anti-mycobacterial targets and later on for the NRF-grant based TOPNET program in collaboration with NTU and other international Universities. She also played important roles in various oncology drug discovery campaigns with diverse targets involving epigenetics, kinases and metabolic pathways. She has been an invited as well as selected speaker in various international conferences and symposiums on Drug discovery. Dr. Weizhi Meng is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Denmark. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong. Prior to joining DTU, he worked as Research Scientist in Institute for Infocomm Research, A*Star, Singapore. He won the Outstanding Academic Performance Award during his doctoral study, and is a recipient of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) Outstanding Paper Award for Young Engineers/Researchers in both 2014 and 2017. He also received the IEEE ComSoc Best Young Researcher Award for Europe, Middle East, & Africa Region (EMEA) in 2020. His primary research interests are cyber security and artificial intelligence in security, including intrusion detection, IoT security, biometric authentication, trust management, and blockchain. He is currently directing the SPTAGE Lab at DTU Dr Victor Wang is currently an Associate Professor in Singapore Institute of Technology. Dr Victor Wang graduated from Loughborough University with a First in Aeronautical Engineering (B.Eng, 2008) before reading his Doctorate in Aerodynamics, specialising in Computational Fluids Dynamics (2012). His current research interest is in Applied Aerodynamics, using both computational and experimental methods to capture complex but interesting flow behaviors that can be applied to a wide range of Engineering Applications. Dr Victor Wang is also a member of the Royal Aeronautical Society, UK. Dr. Jiqiang Lu received a B.Sc. degree in Applied Mathematics from Yantai University (China) in 2000, a M.Eng. degree in Information and Communication Engineering from Xidian University (China) in 2003, and a Ph.D. degree from Royal Holloway, University of London (UK) in 2008.
