The excitement of HTX’s Associates is palpable. After all, they have just concluded their Associates Programme, culminating in the creation of their own Greenfield projects!
Making a difference
“Being able to accurately determine the time of a crime is crucial in forensic investigations as it narrows down the list of possible suspects. As blood is one of the most common pieces of evidence found at crime scenes, this project aims to quantify blood degradation on short time scales,” – Clarice Lee, Associate, Forensics Centre of Expertise (CoE).

“Currently, home delivery of passports is an issue as it is difficult to ensure the safety and security of the document with it being handled by multiple personnel. TraceTransfer intends to record each person who has possession of the passport to improve accountability during the delivery process. My project is a prototype concept for a possible project that can be implemented by ICA to impact all Singaporeans and I find that quite meaningful,” – Nagarajan Harish, Associate, Immigration & Checkpoints Programme Management Centre.

Collaboration=innovation

“The most meaningful aspect (of the Associates Programme) was the opportunity to collaborate with diverse individuals and learn from their perspectives, and the freedom to explore and make mistakes,” – Sean Lim, Associate,  Robotics, Automation, and Unmanned Systems CoE.

“I found the project to be intellectually stimulating as it provided me the unique opportunity to develop my own idea freely while still receiving guidance from my mentors and senior technical experts,” – Natasha Koh, Associate, CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives) CoE.

Taking charge

“I got to take ownership of my own project, from pitching it to senior management, to building my AI module, and finally being given the opportunity to present my year-long work to Xponents during the showcase,” – Wilson Xu, Associate, Sense-Making and Surveillance CoE.

“What I enjoyed the most was having the autonomy to go and explore options on how to get my project off the ground. I was given the opportunity to explore many different options on how to tackle scammers,” – Martyn Wong, Associate, Q Team CoE.
