Election to the AIMBE College of Fellows is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to medical and biological engineers, comprised of the top two percent of engineers in these fields. College membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to “engineering and medicine research, practice, or education” and to “the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of medical and biological engineering or developing/implementing innovative approaches to bioengineering education.”

Dr. Ng was nominated, reviewed, and elected by peers and members of the College of Fellows “for outstanding contributions in non-contact, early detection of human-health abnormality non-invasively with infrared-physics-technology…. Continue reading.

The programme has also been developed with consultation from medical doctors specialising in breast imaging and intervention from Singapore

A group of researchers, led by Assoc Prof Ng Yin Kwee from NTU’s School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE), has developed a computer programme to identify potential tumours in the human breast, making use of the observation that malignant breast tumours distribute heat differently to healthy breast tissue.

The computer programme, Physics-informed Neural Network (PINN), was developed in collaboration with medical doctors and researchers from Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Singapore General hospital, and Nazarbayev University in Kazakhstan, and combines artificial intelligence (AI) and heat-imaging technology… Continue reading.
