Launch of the Louis Chen Science Merit Scholarship, in honour of Emeritus Professor Louis Chen
During his many years of service with NUS, Emeritus Professor Louis Chen made significant contributions to the university. He helped lay the foundations critical to the development of the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Statistics and Applied Probability into the world-renowned programmes that they are today. He also played a key role in advancing the Institute for Mathematical Sciences (IMS) into a renowned mathematical research institute in Singapore and beyond. The Louis Chen Science Merit Scholarship was established in Emeritus Professor Louis Chen’s honour by colleagues and friends to recognise his achievements and contributions to the university, and to spur the next generation of researchers. Generous gifts came from former and present colleagues as well as friends, notably Mr Ng Kok Lip who holds Prof Chen in high honour, esteem and affection. The first scholarship will be awarded in the academic year 2021/2022.
