Singapore: I pledge to Honour Prof Soh Chee Kiong's Legacy no matter where I work .....
It all began on a Monday—July 28, 2003. I still remember stepping into the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) Lab for the first time at the School of CEE, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore
I am deeply honored to be the recipient of the Er. Avinash Shirode Yashokirti Award 2026, presented by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Alumni Association at the Faculty Hall, Bangalore (Link1)
