“When a SpaceX rocket docks at the International Space Station (ISS) on Wednesday (Aug 16), it will deliver, among other items, a supercomputer billed as the most powerful ever sent into orbit.
The supercomputer could one day help crew operate extended missions into deep space – and what many may not know is that the man behind the machine is a Singaporean, Dr Goh Eng Lim.
Yet, Dr Goh said he remains indebted to the solid grounding he received as a student in Singapore. The first-class honours degree holder in mechanical engineering from Birmingham University and PhD holder in parallel architectures and computer graphics credited his Secondary 3 and junior college mathematics education, in particular, for his work with NASA.”
