About SCRIPTS
What We Do
SCRIPTS specialises in privacy-preserving technologies (PP-Tech) that are computing techniques used to preserve individual’s privacy while allowing maximum value and insight to be extracted from available data. These technologies enable organisations to carry out data mining, analysis and sharing in compliance with data protection regulation enacted in various jurisdictions. PP-Tech will provide solutions and knowledge on how to best utilise data collected to benefit Singapore’s advancement towards a Smart Nation without compromising privacy.
The Centre focuses on the research, development and application of customised privacy-preserving technologies aligned with the national priorities of Singapore in the Services and Digital Economy of the Research, Innovation, and Enterprise (RIE) 2020 plan. Our work is funded by a $15.3 million grant from the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), and supported by the National Research Foundation, Singapore (NRF).

Student Testimonial
I enrolled at NTU in 2022 to pursue a M.Eng degree under the supervision of Prof. Lam Kwok Yan. I am thrilled to share that I have recently graduated and started my next journey as a data scientist at a German company. I am deeply grateful for Prof. Lam’s unwavering support and thoughtful guidance. His mentorship provided me with an excellent opportunity to explore advanced topics, complemented by his invaluable insights, extensive knowledge, and vast experience. Under his supervision, I had the privilege of working in a conducive environment with ample time to delve into meaningful and impactful research. The dedication and rigorous approach to research that Prof. Lam instilled in me will remain a lifelong treasure and a cornerstone of my future career journey.
