Education:

• PhD (Chem Engr, UIUC, USA and NUS, Singapore)

• ​BEng (Chem Engr, NUS, Singapore)

I like to motivate students to develop their own learning interests and critical thinking. In classroom, I like to enhance learning by making connections between current field of study and other disciplines or applications. Beyond academic curriculum, I love to nurture and inspire young minds in scientific research.
