LAUNCH YOUR DREAMS
Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS-NTU)
​
We are the next chapter in Southeast Asia.
​
Co-founded by a group of like-minded students from Nanyang Technological University in 2019, we create opportunities for students in Singapore to dream big and lead the future for space exploration. Through developing their technical and leadership skills in space-related projects, we empower passionate youths in their pursuit of space exploration.
Paving the way to soar into space, we rally aspirers to join our base.
Passionate learners, problem solvers, and space explorers. That is who we are.
Your dream is not light-years away. Launch them into reality now.
MEET THE TEAM
Nick Lee
President

He hopes that with an organization like SEDS, students with a passion for space could come together and discuss how they can be a part of the new space age.
Tan Wei Jun
Programmes Director
Wei Jun is a Senior in Mechanical Engineering. His passion lies in the application of space technology in the Internet of Things. Having spent 6 months at the Making Innovative Space Technologies Lab in Montreal Canada, he is knowledgeable in the current research atmosphere with regard to space exploration.
He is highly proficient in Arduino interfacing and programming and is well versed with Linux operating system. With his past leadership experience, he hopes to bring people from all backgrounds and skillsets together with SEDS to tackle challenges in the space frontier.
Sherman Chua
Technical Director
Sherman is a Senior in Mechanical Engineering and is passionate about exploring how various professions could venture into the space domain. Having represented Asia Pacific as a Space Generation Delegate at the Space Generation Advisory Council, Sherman is well connected with other like-minded individuals like himself from various professions such as Space Lawyers, Policy Makers, Federal Officials to Disaster Response Nurses.
He firmly believes that space is the next frontier and hopes to seize this opportunity to cultivate young minds. And with SEDS NTU, Sherman wishes to work on space outreach programmes to promote the entire space ecosystem on top of the more commonly known domain of launch vehicles, satellites and astronauts.
Earl Chow
Vice President (Programmes)
Earl is a Senior in Aerospace Engineering with a Second Major in Business. As an aspiring aerospace engineer, he is working towards his dreams of building the next revolutionary rocket, satellite, or even a space vehicle.
He was part of a team that designed and built a fully 3D printed quad plane. He also worked on a homemade rocket project during his exchange programme at Purdue University, USA.
He hopes that SEDS will help to nurture future talents, bringing the local space industry to greater heights.
Aloysius Tan
Honorary General Secretary
Aloysius is a Senior in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. As an Electrical Power Systems lead for a student club, he helped to build a prototype of a student CubeSat named SC OOBI 1 that would be launched into space in 2020.
He hopes that SEDS will allow more students with an interest in space exploration to meet and talk about all things space. He is also passionate about serving the student community by providing students with more local space-related projects, events, and internships.
Lee Jian Ming
Vice President (Technical)
Jian Ming is a Senior in Aerospace Engineering with a wealth of experience running a student organization. As the Honorary General Secretary in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Club, he organised the Asia Pacific Space Generation Workshop that brought leaders and managers from the Space industry together to conduct a workshop for students.
As an undergraduate researcher with the school’s URECA programme, Jian Ming wrote a paper for publication by the coveted American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He hopes that with SEDS-NTU, students would have an avenue to pursue their interest in space.
Lim Hao Wei
Treasurer
Hao Wei is a Senior in Mechanical Engineering. Ever since he visited the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida at the age of 16, he fell in love with the science behind space technology.
Upon witnessing the various achievements in the global space industry, Hao Wei is inspired to uncover the hidden talents among NTU students. With SEDS, he wishes to provide an avenue for like-minded individuals to nurture their passion for space.
Ng Jing Hang
Business Development Director
Jing Hang is a Senior in Mechanical Engineering. He actively organizes and conducts technical training workshops for students.
Witnessing the rise and evolution in the field of space exploration in recent years, he believes that NTU would benefit from a shared vision with other space clubs around the world.
He hopes that a club like SEDS-NTU would allow students of different disciplines to work together in a system that integrates knowledge and skills from their diverse majors and form a synergistic function and plant seeds to nurture the next generation of student leaders of space.
