Our first scholars came on board in 2002. The first cohort have already competed their term, and have moved on either to faculty positons in Singapore, and overseas, or have continued their research. Other scholars are now working in industry.

Our scholars have had a fruitful expereince in Singapore, and listed below are some quotes from previous and current scholars:
