Centre for Photonics and Advanced Materials Research

Dr Pua Chang Hong

The Centre for Photonics and Advanced Materials Research (CPAMR) is a centre set up to spearhead research and innovation in the broad sphere of photonics and advanced materials technologies. The objective of the centre is to conduct R&D on materials, photonics/optoelectronics components and system in solar technology, sensors technology, device and packaging technologies, optical communication technology and in other industries that require the use of these technologies. This is achieved through a portfolio of collaborative R&D projects which includes strategic long-term research programmes, industrial collaborative programmes and consultancy

Its mission is to:

• Conduct applied research in high impact projects
• Share research and other forms of knowledge across disciplines and education systems
• Extend, exchange, and apply this knowledge in the wider society and local community
• Develop research and enterprise partnerships with other institutions and communities
• Engage in collaborative links with other institutions of higher learning and think-tanks to produce academic studies that contribute positively towards nation-building
