Project Title: Sustainable catalysts for the synthesis of carbon-heteroatom bonds

Project Introduction:

Transition-metal catalyzed carbon-heteroatom strategies for the generation of selective carbon-nitrogen, carbon-sulfur and carbon-oxygen bonds has emerged as a versatile strategy for chemical synthesis. In particular, the intense demand for these strategies has been driven by its applications in producing key intermediates which are prevalent building blocks for the construction of many natural products and pharmaceuticals. Many of the existing protocols for performing this type of transformation have been accomplished using toxic and expensive transition metals such as palladium, nickel, rhodium and ruthenium metal catalysts. In most instances, the catalysts are easily rendered ineffective unless carried out under stringent inert conditions and anhydrous solvents. Generally, the catalytic systems based on such transition metals are perceived as expensive methodologies with higher toxicity.

Despite advances made in carbon-heteroatom bonds formation reactions, there is still a pertinent need to develop new protocols that are less toxic, sustainable, and experimentally simple. In this project, we aim to address this challenge by applying more environmentally benign metal salts as catalysts for carbon-heteroatom bonds formation reactions.

Requirements

• A Bachelor’s degree in chemistry or a closely related field is required.
• Candidate must have at least one year of experience working in a chemistry lab.

• Practical experience in purification methods such as flash chromatography, preparative HPLC and crystallization is required.
• Ability to interpret results obtained by spectroscopic techniques (IR, UV/Vis, 1H and 13C NMR) to elucidate the structure of synthesized compounds.
• Proficiency in performing literature searches using chemistry databases and applying the findings to solve synthetic challenges in the lab.
• Fluency in oral and written English is necessary for effective communication within the team and reporting research findings.
• Good communication skills are essential for collaboration within the team.
• Ability to work independently and within a team environment.
• Being meticulous, systematic, responsible, and accountable for tasks.
• Experience in metal-mediated cross-coupling and/or C-H activation reactions is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Design and execute organic synthesis routes to create target molecules.
• Utilize various techniques like extraction, chromatography, and crystallization for isolation/purification.

Project Title: Embodiment and Social-Emotional Learning: A Comparative Study of Immersive Virtual Environments and Drama Processes.

Project Introduction: This project is a comparative study of 360˚ immersive virtual environments (IVEs) and drama processes for Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in the Citizenship and Character Education (CCE) classroom. Both IVEs, facilitated by Virtual Reality (VR) devices involving head-mounted displays (HMDs), and drama processes, such as role-playing or dramatizing, are embodied experiences which allow one to be another or be ‘in the shoes’ of another and assume his/her perspective. They thus lend to a necessary comparison as potential ways of effective SEL teaching in the CCE context. Specifically, the project seeks to measure the effectiveness of both modalities in encouraging students to take another’s perspective, empathize (aspects of the Social Awareness competency in MOE’s SEL framework (2016)) and, in turn, how this affects responsible decision-making, another competency in the framework. This will be done as a problem-based scenario fashioned to the respective modality (IVE or drama), with opportunities for students to provide solutions to the problem encountered.

The project will be a small-scale, comparative quasi-experiment. The team will collaborate with Xinmin Secondary School to facilitate two CCE lessons as experimental sessions where quantitative and qualitative data will be obtained. Three classes from the Secondary 3 cohort will be selected by the school: one will experience the problem-scenario as IVE, the other will experience it as facilitated drama processes; the third will have students undergo a CCE lesson, taught with current conventional approaches, albeit of a similar topic and focus as the other two treatment groups.

There will be two rounds of data collection for which the processes are identical although a different scenario will be presented each time. A pre- and post-test survey will be given to all students and the self-reporting measures will be presented as a Likert-scale questionnaire as well as open-ended short questions. Students’ written solutions to the problems would also be coded for qualitative data. Subsequently, interviews will also be done with selected individuals based on the quantitative and qualitative data evaluated; the interviews desire to investigate, in greater depth, the impact of IVEs on their solution and their empathic and perspective-taking responses.

Requirements:

• A good honours degree in the relevant fields (social science, psychology, education)
• Proficient knowledge in quantitative and qualitative analysis
• Relevant skills in academic research (e.g., conducting literature review, interviews)
• Prior experience in research either at the undergraduate or postgraduate levels
• Technologically competent: able to exploit hardware and software for quantitative and qualitative data analysis
• Good communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to work independently

Responsibilities:

• Conduct pre- and post- surveys after each session (total of two sessions)
• Conduct interviews with selected students (multiple sessions)
• Code, organise and analyse all data and present the findings
• Conduct literature review in the relevant fields (immersive virtual environments and learning, drama and social emotional competencies)
• Assist with the final report

A Research Fellow position is currently available in the Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS).

EOS is a University Research Institute in Nanyang Technological University Singapore that conducts fundamental research on earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and climate change in and around Southeast Asia, towards safer and more sustainable societies.

EOS maintains a regional network of geophysical observation stations in collaboration with neighboring countries in Southeast Asia, that are supported by the EOS Centre for Geohazard Observations, as well as a Remote Sensing Lab (EOS-RS). Computational resources are available through a dedicated cluster and collaboration with the High-Performance Computing Centre of NTU. In addition, EOS hosts state-of-the-art analytical facilities for petrological and geochemical analysis, and a Community Engagement office that co-creates learning opportunities for a range of audiences to promote a safer and more sustainable future.

The successful candidate will under the supervision of Associate Professor Steve Yim to investigate the interactions between climate and air quality, and the resultant impacts on public health and ecosystem. The team's ongoing research is to develop, advance and utilize the state-of-the-art multi-scale atmospheric models, along with measurement and statistical approaches, to understand the mechanisms that drive the climate-air quality interactions, and evaluate the impacts on human exposure, mosquito abundance and soil acidity.

Key Responsibilities:

• Implement air pollutant sensitivity calculation in a chemical transport model
• Develop a response surface model
• Perform the developed model for different climate change emission scenarios
• Analyze the model results of various air pollutants considering meteorological processes and chemical reactions
• Document the results of the tasks in reports and peer-review international journals

Job Requirements:

• Ph.D. degree in atmospheric science/ geography/ meteorology/ environment
• Experience in development of chemical transport models especially sensitivity calculation
• Publications in the relevant work
