About

Built-environment sustainability specialist with 4+ years of experience across whole-life carbon assessment, green building certification, and design-led sustainability. Currently a Research Associate at the Energy Studies Institute (NUS), focusing on LCA Phase C (end-of-life) for building materials and advancing whole-life carbon methodologies. Previously at the Singapore Green Building Council, I contributed to the Green Mark for Interiors (GMI) 2025 framework and assessment criteria, and earlier co-developed Singapore’s Mechanical & Electrical Carbon Calculator (MECC) in 2024. My background includes nearly two decades as an international architectural lighting design consultant, delivering award-winning projects across USA, and other projects in China, Dubai, and Singapore. I combine sustainability research, industry frameworks, and data analytics (Orange, Power BI) to translate complex carbon data into actionable insights—supporting decarbonisation across the built environment.
