UB Singapore Students Win Geospatial Competition with Food Waste Research 

UB students in Singapore mapping food waste across the island nation have earned the top prize in an international geospatial science competition.  

The team received the distinction award in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations’ (ASEAN) 2024 Geospatial Challenge. The announcement of the team’s first-place win came at the Geo Connect Asia conference held in Singapore.  

First-year students Viknavel Krishnan, Joseph Yuet Chin Cheng and Jeng Siang Seem (from left to right in photo) are all enrolled in UB’s GIS program at Singapore Institute of Management. The two-decade partnership between UB and the institute, known as UB SIM, offers seven total majors and nine minors.
