Industrial Seminar Series (ISS): Alibaba Cloud

January 28, 2022

On 18 January 2022, the Industrial Seminar Series welcomed one of the world’s leading cloud computing platform providers, Alibaba Cloud. The company, which commands an impressive market share in Asia, set up their international headquarters in Singapore in 2015.

During the seminar, NUS alumnae Dr Long Yin (PhD Operations Research) who is currently a Lead Solutions Architect focused on AI at Alibaba Cloud Singapore, gave participants a brief overview of the core business of Alibaba Cloud against the backdrop of the Alibaba Group Ecosystem.

Her sharing drew an enthusiastic response from 75 undergraduate and postgraduate students of the Faculty.

As businesses seek to turn their cost centres into innovation centres, there has been a rapid adoption of on-demand computing resources. The session hopes to encourage NUS Science students – in particular those from the Data Science and Analytics programme – to consider careers in the cloud computing industry.

The next ISS will be on 16 February, featuring the Home Team Science and Technology Agency or HTX for short.
