Twenty-two IT operations staff from UOB spent a day on the question that actually matters for an ops team: not what an AI agent can do, but what makes it act. The agentic loop, and the five trigger types — always-on memory, on-demand skills, event-driven hooks, manual commands and delegated subagents.

AI filled the world's data centers with GPUs. The next build-out is already being planned around quantum processors, and S&P Global expects them to land in leased data centers rather than only national labs. Here is what that means for Singapore, and for the cryptography protecting your data today.

I have attended the course "Practical Design of Experiment (DoE) for Engineers and Researchers" taught by Dr. Alvin Ang at the Tertiary Infotech Academy. Dr. Ang uses a wide variety of examples to illustrate Taguchi designs, mixture designs, full and fractional factorial designs, Plackett-Burman designs, Box-Behnken designs, Response Surface Methodology, and other experimental optimization techniques. He demonstrated how Minitab can be used to generate these experimental designs, analyze the data, and generate various plots to visualize the results. Dr. Ang is a very resourceful trainer and has included many personal experiences to make the course engaging. He explains all concepts clearly and in a manner that is easy to understand. He has also demonstrated how generative artificial intelligence tools can assist in DoE. Dr. Ang is very experienced in his field of work; he has worked on Procter and Gamble's Supply Chain Redesign and has helped the Research Director of The Logistics Institute Asia Pacific to prepare a proposal for Singapore General Hospital's home delivery of medication. Furthermore, Dr. Ang has five publications on the topic of Kanban Systems and Operations Research. Overall, Dr. Ang is a strong communicator and I enjoyed being taught by him.
Dr Alvin Ang is a very engaging and knowledgeable trainer. During the course, Machine Learning 101 for Financial Trading he explains concepts clearly and uses practical examples that make the lessons easy to understand. He also show us where and how we can learn further. I enjoyed the class and learning is easy. Thank you for the great learning experience!
Few can claim to know such a luminary in the field of data science as Dr Alvin Ang. Our correspondence has led me to realize the sheer breadth and depth of the field of data science. Only a true expert like Dr Ang could have revealed to me through his advocacy, teaching, publications, and real world experience how diverse the field truly is. From the very start I was star-struck, first by his academic achievements — a doctorate in Operations Research, a master's in Logistics and a bachelor's in Engineering, all from the world renowned Nanyang Technological University — and then by his experience in industry as well as in academia as a lecturer, trainer, consultant and analyst. He continues to impress and inspire me with his achievements. I highly recommend Dr Ang as the most reputable data scientist that I have been fortunate to know.
This is my second time joining Dr. Alvin Ang's class. I first attended last year on 16 Aug 2025. Today I signed up for the Excel Power Query and Power Pivot course. Dr. Ang is very patient. He makes sure we really understand, and he'll even invite us to a Google Meet to troubleshoot why Power Pivot or Power Query isn't working. He also shares tips to help speed up our work and make daily tasks easier.
