Biography
Dr. Teck Leong Tan is a Senior Principal Scientist at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore, and Director of the Multiscale Science Department at the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC). He is also an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the National University of Singapore.
His work focuses on multiscale simulation and modelling, spanning atomistic to macroscopic length and time scales, to support materials and process development for sustainable industrial applications, including decarbonisation and green chemistry. His recent research involves integrating computational and experimental data with machinelearning approaches to develop Data–AI–Computation frameworks that improve the efficiency of physics-based simulations through surrogate and generative models. These methods are applied to the study and design of complex materials systems in collaboration with experimental partners.
Dr. Tan obtained his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, with a specialisation in Computer Science and Engineering, and joined A*STAR in 2011. His research interests are in Materials AI, with applications in catalysis, aerospace materials, nanoscale technologies, electronics, corrosion science, and sustainability.
