Profile
Dr Alagappan GHANDI
Collaborator
Dr Gandhi Alagappan is a Principal Scientist II at the Translational Biophotonics Laboratory, A*STAR Skin Research Lab (A*STAR SRL), and has also served at the A*STAR Institute of High-Performance Computing (A*STAR IHPC). He is an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Physics at the National University of Singapore (NUS), where he teaches a graduate course on AI for Optics, and a former Adjunct Lecturer of Mathematics at Singapore Polytechnic, where he taught Engineering Mathematics and Advanced Mathematics.
Alagappan received his Bachelor of Engineering (First-Class Honours) from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, under the ASEAN Undergraduate Scholarship, and completed his PhD degree in photonics at NTU with the support of the A*STAR Graduate Scholarship. He subsequently pursued postdoctoral research at the University of Toronto, Canada, with Sajeev John, a world leader in photonic crystals and metasurfaces. Alagappan’s research focuses on computational physics and artificial intelligence, with applications spanning optics, photonics and biophysics. He has authored more than 40 first-author journal papers published in leading international journals.
