|December 31, 2025
An NUS biomedical engineering professor who was sacked after a disciplinary panel found him guilty of sexual misconduct has denied the allegations and said he plans to lodge an appeal.
Professor Shawn Chen Xiaoyuan was found to have flouted NUS rules governing staff conduct, a Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine spokesperson said.
The spokesperson, responding to queries, said Prof Chen's employment with NUS was "terminated in accordance with his employment contract as he was found to have contravened the code of conduct for NUS staff".
The Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine declined to provide further details.
The professor was sacked after a ruling by an NUS disciplinary panel that was convened when a student accused him of sexual misconduct.
