About

Hi, I’m Kenta — a recent Chemical Engineering graduate from NUS, with a second major in the Innovation and Design Programme. I’m passionate about sustainable innovation and have explored this through courses like Circular Economy in the Chemical Industry and Value Creation in Innovation. Through hands-on projects, I’ve worked on turning waste into resources and developing practical solutions with real-world impact. I’m excited to apply these skills to drive sustainability and innovation in my next role.
