Dr TAY Wee Beng
Dr Tay Wee Beng has a background in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), focusing on unsteady aerodynamic problems. In recent years, he also does research in machine learning, focusing on Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN). Prior to joining CCRS, Dr Tay worked at Temasek Laboratories @ NUS, solving problems involving biomimetic flapping flight and wing morphing. He completed his PhD at the National University of Singapore and did his post-doc at the Delft University of Technology and National Taiwan University. His current role is on urban high-resolution modelling.
