I'm a PhD-trained researcher specialising in developmental biology and behavioural neuroscience, with a focus on circadian rhythms and sleep using zebrafish models. My core expertise includes histology, microscopy, and behavioural assays, particularly in understanding how biological timing influences health and development. Alongside research, I’ve supported undergraduate lab teaching and assessment at university level, and currently teach IGCSE science part-time. I enjoy mentoring students and making science more approachable and inclusive, whether in the lab or the classroom. I’m passionate about connecting research to real-world impact, especially in areas like neurotechnology and accessible healthcare. Open to research, postdoctoral, or education-focused opportunities in Malaysia or abroad, I’m drawn to collaborative, interdisciplinary environments where science can drive meaningful change.
