Dr. Terence Sim

Greetings from NUS!

I am an Associate Professor at the School of Computing, National University of Singapore.  I am also an Assistant Dean of Corporate Relations at our School. I teach an undergraduate course in digital special effects, as well as a graduate course in multimedia.  For research, I work primarily in these areas:  face recognition, biometrics, and computational photography.  I'm also interested in computer vision problems in general, such as shape-from-shading, photometric stereo, object recognition.  On the side, I dabble with some aspects of music processing, such as polyphonic music transcription.

From 2014 to 2016, I served as President of the Pattern Recognition and Machine Intelligence Association (PREMIA), a national professional body for pattern recognition, affiliated with the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR).

I won the 4th Temasek Young Investigator's Award in 2005.  This $500K award was given by the Defence Science and Technology Agency for a 3-year project in Extreme Face Recognition.

I am available as a Consultant for biometrics deployment: review of technology, assessment of vendor's proposal, education and training.
