Dr Ang Yu Qian is an Assistant Professor (Presidential Young Professor) at the National University of Singapore and cofounder of UrbanFlow, an AI-native urban science startup. His career spans academia, government, and entrepreneurship. He holds a PhD from MIT and an MPhil from the University of Cambridge, where he was a Gates Scholar. He currently leads the City Syntax Lab, where his research focuses on AI and physics-based approaches for urban sustainability. His lab is supported by public agencies and industry (including NVIDIA) to translate urban AI research into real-world applications. Prior to academia, he served as Senior Assistant Director at Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry, contributing to the development of Singapore’s $19 billion national research masterplan. He has also consulted for the World Bank on data science initiatives.
Dr Abraham Wu is the co-founder and CEO of GroundVision, where he is building AI-native urban intelligence systems for real estate, underwriting, and urban decision-making. His work explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping the mechanisms through which urban value is produced, captured, and spatially distributed. Previously, Abraham was the founding CTO of AlphaGeo, where he developed climate and geospatial intelligence systems used by institutional investors including EQT, Oaktree Capital Management, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, and Teacher Retirement System of Texas. Trained in architecture and urban studies at the National University of Singapore, his research on AI, climate risk, and urban systems has been published in journals including Nature Communications and Nature Sustainability. At the center of his work is a broader question: how should cities and real assets be valued in the age of AI?
Viola Iselin is a Product Manager at Unravel Carbon, where she combines sustainability expertise with product development to build practical AI-enabled tools for corporate climate action. She helps turn complex greenhouse gas accounting, reporting, and emissions data challenges into intuitive workflows for companies and consultants. With a background in GHG accounting, decarbonisation, corporate sustainability strategy, food systems, and agricultural value chains, Viola brings a practitioner’s perspective to climate software design. In this session, she will showcase how Unravel Carbon is using AI agents to make sustainability- and GHG data workflows more efficient, structured, and actionable.
