ETH–NUS Joint Workshop
18 to 19 September 2025
Venue,
Auditorium, Institute of Mathematical Sciences
For NUS Math students:
AI x FinTech: Bridging Innovation and Financial Insight
The Centre for Quantitative Finance (CQF) at NUS, in collaboration with ETH Zurich’s FinsureTech Hub, will organize the ETH–NUS Joint Workshop on AI × FinTech on Thursday, 18 September and Friday, 19 September 2025 at NUS.
Co-hosted by the Institute for Mathematical Sciences (IMS) and the Department of Mathematics, this two-day workshop is designed to strengthen the growing partnership between ETH Zurich and NUS in financial technology, quantitative finance and applied machine learning.
With the theme “AI Agents for the Future of Financial Decision-Making,” the workshop aims to promote meaningful exchange between faculty and graduate students from ETH’s CAS in Machine Learning for Finance & Insurance and NUS’s MQF and MQF-SJTU programs. Activities will include talks, startup showcases, and a mini hackathon, fostering cross-disciplinary dialogue and applied learning across both groups.
The workshop forms part of a broader effort to build academic and professional bridges between ETH FinsureTech and NUS CQF, advancing collaboration in the rapidly evolving AI and FinTech landscape.
We look forward to welcoming participants to this engaging event in Singapore.

Frontiers of Functional Data Analysis: Challenges and Opportunities in the Era of AI
19 Aug–13 Sep 2024
Frontiers of Functional Data Analysis: Challenges and Opportunities in the Era of AI
This one-month-long program will invite world-leading experts in the areas of FDA, high-dimensional data analysis, non-Euclidean data analysis, and machine learning, and encourage them to bring insights into the interactions between these and other fields, in e.g. data-oriented precision medicine and FinTech, and will provide valuable advice on the future development of FDA. The program will provide an ideal platform for the local and international mathematicians, statisticians and data scientists to exchange ideas and prompt development of FDA for the challenges it will need to face in the era of big data and AI. The program aims to help arouse local researchers’ interest in FDA, especially via presentations and discussions that focus on connections between FDA and other domains such as machine learning. It is to further enhance Singapore’s capacity in FDA in preparation for challenges and opportunities that are related to healthcare, medical sciences, financial technology, among many others, and eventually wellness of society.
