Welcome to the Scaling Group

 

Scientific Computing and Intelligence Group (Scaling Group) is in the Department of Mathematics at National University of Singapore, led by Dr. Liu Yang (杨柳).

Our work centers on In-Context Operator Networks (ICON), a foundation-model framework for scientific problems. Through this lens, we study directions including multi-physics prediction, physical modeling, and embodied AI. To accelerate our research, we also develop agents (EvE) for automated discovery of algorithms and beyond.

We are looking for passionate new students, postdocs, and visiting scholars to join the team!
