NTU Student Crowned Champion at 3MT Asia Pacific - Ms Luo Yifei

We are pleased to announce that Ms Luo Yifei, PhD student of Professor Chen Xiaodong, has bested 7 other PhD students from universities in the region to win the 2020 Asia Pacific Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition on Thursday, 1 October 2020. We have made history as the first Singapore University to win the Asia Pacific 3MT Finals since its inception in 2016. Ms Luo delivered a brilliant presentation of her thesis, entitled “Listening in on Plants through a Conductive Liquid Glue".

Three Minute Thesis Competition was launched in The University of Queensland in 2008. 3MT competition cultivates students’ academic, presentation, and research communication skills. Presenting in a 3MT competition increases their capacity to effectively explain their research in three minutes, in a language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. The 3MT competition has been adopted in 85 countries outside Australia.

 

Our heartiest congratulations to Yifei for making NTU proud!
