They toured NERI&#8217;s analytical facilities, experiencing the end-to-end workflow and seeing how shared infrastructure accelerates collaboration and transforms experimental data into decision-ready evidence.<\/p>\n<p>NERI researchers presented featured projects spanning: science-based restoration of carbon-rich tropical peatlands; electrochemical advanced oxidation for greener industrial wastewater treatment; amphibious microneedles for precision plant bioengineering on land and underwater; and microwave-driven conversion of food waste into algal protein and fuel.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to the GYSS participants for insightful discussions during the visit. Heartfelt thanks to the NUS team who led the sessions: Ms. Xu Yanfang; Assoc. Prof. Sanjay Swarup; Dr. Abhishek Gupta; Assoc. Prof. Olivier Lefebvre; Dr. Orlando Garcia Rodriguez; Asst.
