Exploring the future of AI as a PhD researcher at NTU

About Me

I'm Sua Qi Rong, a PhD student in Artificial Intelligence at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) as well as an AISG PhD Fellow. My research focuses on AI safety and security — ensuring intelligent systems are robust, trustworthy, and aligned with human values. Beyond research, I'm passionate about software engineering and enjoy building systems that blend practicality with innovation. I'm especially drawn to challenges at the intersection of AI and real-world applications, whether through experiments, prototypes, or scalable solutions. Outside of academia, I'm an avid runner and sports enthusiast. I believe in keeping both the mind and body sharp — and I'm always open to meaningful conversations about technology, research, and life. Thanks for stopping by!
