  • Disruptive & Sustainable Technologies for Agricultural Precision (DiSTAP)

     is one of the five Interdisciplinary Research Groups in the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) Centre. DiSTAP started in January 2018 and is a research programme funded by the National Research Foundation (NRF), under its campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE) programme.


    Research Objectives

    Novel Sensors

    Novel Sensors

    study the production of plant hormones and secondary metabolites to improve urban farming and will develop disruptive technologies for discovering plant biosynthetic pathways
