IEEE Photonics Society (IPS) Singapore Chapter’s student branch is a community to promote communications and collaborations among students and professionals in opto-electronics and photonics. It consists of student members from Nanyang Technological University, National University of Singapore and Agency for Science, Technology and Research. The student branch of IPS Singapore Chapter has proven itself as a successful networking platform that involves most of the students in Singapore in the field of photonics by actively organizing technical events (seminars, workshops, forums, best paper competitions, Photonics Global Student Conference, etc.), industrial visits and social events (gatherings and sports activities) since it was founded in 2009. Our meaningful activities as well as great efforts in membership promotion accelerate the community growth and won us the Largest Membership Increase Chapter Award (Global).
