    Ruth Chew plans a UW Ph.D. after GLOW.AI farewell

    A research collaborator says Chew plans to study computer science and engineering with Pang Wei Koh at UW. The update also highlights GLOW.AI graduate Gregory Lau's START Award for a postdoctoral fellowship at MIT.

    TLDR

    In a September 12 update, a longtime research collaborator said GLOW.AI had held a farewell party for Ruth Chew ahead of her planned UW Ph.D. with Pang Wei Koh. The collaborator said her master's thesis led to their joint BILBO optimization research, published at ICML 2025, and highlighted her leadership on a benchmark intended to make black-box optimization research for expensive large-language-model tasks more accessible. The update also noted that GLOW.AI graduate Gregory Lau received Singapore's START Award for an overseas postdoctoral fellowship at MIT.

    Bryan Kian Hsiang Low@bryanklow#GLOW.AI held a farewell party for Ruth Chew @ruthchewing (I'm pointing at her in the photo) who will be heading to @UW for her Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering with Pang Wei @PangWeiKoh. I've known Ruth since her undergrad days back in 2018 when she did her Senior/Final Year Project on @InverseReinforcementLearning with me. During her DSO stint, she did her Master's thesis with me as well, which led to the joint work on BILBO: BILevel #BayesianOptimization (with Phong @qphong) published in @icmlconf #ICML2025 (see her video presentation at https://slideslive.com/39042343/bilbo-bilevel-bayesian-optimization). She has recently led a joint research effort (with Zhiliang @ZhiliangChen94 and Apivich @apivich_h) to develop a benchmark to democratize black-box optimization research for expensive #LLM tasks (https://chewwt.github.io/bolt/). Ruth will be dearly missed! Gregory Lau @greglau (funded by the @AISingapore - CNRS@Create DesCartes Joint PhD Scholarship) had also graduated from #GLOW.AI and recently received the Ministry of Education, Singapore (@MOEsg) Singapore Teaching and Academic Research Talent (START) Award (paired with Nanyang Technological University Singapore @NTUsg) to do an Overseas Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Massachusetts Institute of Technology @MIT. His joint work with Apivich on PINNACLE (#ActiveLearning of #PhysicsInformedNeuralNetworks) was published in @iclr_conf #ICLR2024 (spotlight presentation) and had been recognized with the Best Paper Award in the #ICML2024 Workshop on AI for Science. He is also a great teacher in my CS3264 Foundations of ML course, having received the NUS Computing Teaching Fellowship Scheme award, which is given to those with excellent performance as a tutor. At this party, we also welcome our new member, Joseph Tze Tzun Teoh, to our #GLOW.AI family. He is a recipient of the @AISingapore Ph.D. Fellowship. Looking forward to his significant contributions in AI research!!!26d
