Top SchoolShih-cheng Yen is a director and interdisciplinary systems neuroscientist with over two decades of academic and leadership experience bridging bioengineering, neurotechnology, and design education. He leads the Engineering Design and Innovation Centre at NUS and co-directs initiatives at The N.1 Institute for Health, designing programs that bring engineers and designers together to tackle real-world healthcare problems. His research background spans neural network models of visual cortex, single-neuron recordings in cats and awake primates, and current interests in prefrontal and hippocampal coding, neurotechnology for central and peripheral systems, and tele-health. He has progressed from postdoctoral work at UC Davis and Montana State to faculty roles and research leadership, demonstrating both deep experimental neuroscience expertise and program-building acumen.
