Our heartfelt congratulations to Prof. Lam Khin Yong for being appointed an Honorary Senator of Technical University of Munich (TUM) during the Dies Academicus 2024 ceremony! Prof. Lam is being recognised for his outstanding achievements as an accomplished science manager and his efforts in growing TUM’s presence in Singapore.

He has been a valuable advisor and trusted ally of TUM from the start, contributing significantly through his work with TUMCREATE and TUM Asia. He played a critical role in integrating TUM as one of the founding partners of Singapore's CREATE initiative. Since then, he has been a staunch supporter of TUMCREATE, promoting pivotal research projects, such as “Electromobility in Megacities” and the “Ultimate Public Transport System”.
