Tee Chee Keong Benjamin is a Singaporean scientist. He helped to co-develop the electronic skin technology when he was a PhD student in Stanford University. In 2015, he was chosen as one of TR35 list (MIT Technology Review's global 35 Innovators Under 35) for his work on e-skin. The only Singaporean on the 2015 TR35 list, e-skins could potentially make prosthetic limbs as sensitive as human ones and enable intuitive human machine interactions.^[1]^[2]^[3] In 2019, he co-developed an underwater self-healing transparent material that could be useful in marine environments.^[4]

Career

Tee is currently associate professor (tenured) at the National University of Singapore's Department of Material Science and Engineering.

He is currently Vice-President ( Ecosystem Building) developing the Innovation and Enterprise ecosystem.

He served as Vice-Dean of Research and Technology at the College of Design and Engineering and Associate Vice-President at NUS Enterprise.

He was the President's assistant professor between 2017 and 2021. He is also an adjunct scientist at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research's Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (A*STAR's IMRE) .^[5]^[6]
