NRF is conducting a study titled "Foundations of Security and Data Privacy", with a team of researchers led by Prof Abhik Roychoudhury (Provost's Chair Professor of Computer Science, NUS).
The study will cover the topics listed below, and culminate in a report which will be shared with NRF’s Scientific Advisory Board, RIE Domains and Horizontals, R&D funding agencies, and the wider research community in Singapore to guide investments in the foundational research capabilities of Singapore.
