I am committed to leveraging my education and experiences to make a meaningful impact, continuously learning and growing both personally and professionally.
Completed a year long intensive research project focusing on optimization of a RNA-based therapeutic approach against cardiovascular disease. Techniques honed included molecular cloning, cell culture, transfection assays and flow cytometry analysis. Presented a full-length scientific report and defended the research in a viva voce.
Under NUS Special Programme in Science, worked as a Mentor/ Teaching Assistant for a range of six Courses in the Interdisciplinary Sciences. As of May 2025, worked as a Head Mentor to oversee the Mentor Body. Coordinate with faculty staff to conduct Courses and hold organisation events. Liaised with external organisations for undergraduate career outreach. SP2274 Engineering a Lifelike Cell Laboratory and grading Mentor; SP3275 Building a Sustainable Earth Fieldwork Mentor etc.
Completed a 3 month internship in A*STAR Infectious Diseases Labs (IDLabs) under Principal Investigator Dr. Matthew Tay. Collaborated with my supervisor in the preliminary stages of the project. Conducted independent work in bacterial assays and viral-related experiments. Gained technical skills in Flow Cytometry and carrying out cytotoxic assays. Contributed to key results that led to considerable progress in the project in the short time spent.
Under SP3172, completed a self-directed semester-long research project under Prof. Nguyen Nam Long Lab in the Department of Biochemistry, NUS Yong Loo Lin. Carried out synthesis of a novel membrane protein via molecular cloning and protein purification techniques. Subsequently wrote a full scientific report of our findings, defended our results in a viva voce, presented in congress and a poster sharing session.
• taught H2 Chemistry and H2 Biology • craft tutorials and quizzes to help my students • tackle their weak points and enhance their strengths • has seen considerable improvement through weekly quizzes and papers
