About the Job

The Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) is seeking a highly motivated and skilled Research Assistant to support a research project focused on leveraging multimodal Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance user intention understanding and decision-making process, particularly in the area of recommender systems. The successful candidate will work closely with faculty and researchers to design, implement, and evaluate novel methods that integrate LLMs for more intelligent user understanding and decision-making systems. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge AI research with real-world impact.

What You'll Do

• Conduct research on applying LLMs to improve the user intent understanding and decision-making process.
• Develop and implement experimental prototypes and evaluate model performance.
• Conduct literature reviews and contribute to the writing of research papers and reports.
• Collaborate with team members and participate in regular research discussions.

Who We're Looking For

• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or a related field.
• Proven research experience, particularly in user modeling, personalization and decision-making process and recommender systems.
• Strong programming skills (e.g., Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow).
• Excellent written English communication skills.
• Self-motivated, independent, and passionate about research.
• Familiarity with prompt engineering, fine-tuning LLMs, or knowledge distillation is a plus.
• Experience with publishing in academic conferences or journals is a plus.

Project Overview

The DiSTAP programme addresses deep problems in food production in Singapore and the world by developing a suite of impactful and novel analytical, genetic and biosynthetic technologies. DiSTAP is one of the five Interdisciplinary Research Groups (IRGs) of the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART).  The research engineer will join an interdisciplinary team of chemists, engineers and plant biologists in the development, modification and characterization of functional conjugated polymers with unique optical properties that could potentially be used for cell imaging. These novel tools enables optimal crop production and rapid development of plants suitable for high-density farming and revolutionalizes urban farming strategies.

Responsibilities

• Support the DiSTAP nanosensor team in the development and validation of novel single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)-based sensors, with a primary focus on Covalent Organic Framework microneedles (COF-MNs) and nanosensors for nutrient sensing.
• Participate in translational research projects alongside external collaborators and open-field commercial plantation partners to drive the commercialization of DiSTAP technologies.
• Work across interdisciplinary team on in-planta studies using nanosensors for the real-time monitoring of plant nutrients, metabolites, and stress responses.
• Play a crucial role in enhancing the throughput of sensor data evaluation by developing, optimizing, and maintaining automated data processing and analysis pipelines.

Requirements

• BSc in Chemistry, Materials Science, Engineering, or a closely related field.
• Hands-on experience working with nanosensors, nanoparticle synthesis, and materials characterization, particularly regarding their applications in plant biology.
• Strong hands-on laboratory skills and technical proficiency.
• Excellent teamwork and collaboration skills, with the ability to mentor visiting students and interns.
• Ability to effectively communicate research progress through technical reports and poster presentations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
