Industrial Seminar Series

These seminars with networking segments during the term time invite industries to the Science campus to inform and inspire Science students: be it Cargill, a global behemoth in the food industry, sharing their critical role in global food supply chain and security to ensure dependable delivery of food from farm to dinner table; or the Singapore Airlines, illuminating the importance of data science in the day-to-day operations of the national carrier.

Rosters for the seminar series for each semester are designed to cater to build the industrial awareness of both mathematical and life and physical sciences majors.
