As a materials engineer by training, I am passionate about MedTech research and development, particularly in the application of new materials and designs to healthcare wearables and biomedical products. My experience spans various multidisciplinary research projects looking into new ways to tackle current issues in healthcare monitoring and developing new products to meet existing clinical needs in areas like surgery. As I embark on my journey as a future clinician-innovator at Duke-NUS Medical School, I am excited to integrate my medical training with my core expertise in engineering. My hope is to be able to bridge the gap between the needs of healthcare professionals & patients and the ability of engineers through collaboration to develop the next generation of life-saving technologies and innovations.
Engaging the relevant authorities (USA's FDA, Korea's MFDS, e.t.c) and contract manufacturers for the preparation of the required documentation to attain registration approval for and achieve mass manufacturing of Sporogenics’s products and clinical trials within the regulatory framework & QMS requirement under the supervision of startup director A/P Ng Wei Beng (NUS Material Science and Engineering).
Final Year Project Titled "Development of Superfast Water Absorption Hydrogel for 4D Printing Application" Project selected to represent NUS iDP at the 12th International Senior Project Conference 2024 held in Thailand.
Continuing previous work in group of Dr Wang Fuke (3D Printing Composite, Institute of Materials Research and Engineering) under the A*STAR Research Internship Award. -Experimenting with new techniques like bioprinting and electrospinning.
Developing 3D-printed hydrogels for biomedical applications and synthesis of hydrogel precursor materials in group of Dr Wang Fuke (3D Printing Composite, Institute of Materials Research and Engineering) -Designed various hydrogel structures for DLP printing and molds using AutoCAD Fusion 360 -Characterized mechanical properties of 3D printed hydrogel structures using SEM & tensile testing and swelling properties in various physiological conditions
Shadowed a team of doctors from the Colorectal Surgery department in Changi General Hospital for 2 days
Developed a novel stretchable sensor to provide an alternative to the approach of monitoring oropharyngeal dysphagia for out-of-clinic use under A/P Benjamin Tee (NUS Material Science and Engineering). Currently working on improving sensor-skin interfaces to enhance sensor performance. -Proposed new design that could improve sensitivity of current sensor design by 400% (pending testing) -Researched and experimented with new materials and sensor designs to improve sensitivity of the sensors and streamline the fabrication process -Designed moulds for testing of various fabrication for the casting of Ecoflex silicones for sensor development -Preliminary characterisation of resistance-strain profile of strain sensor using in-house integrated analysis platform
Assisted with 3D Printing at the EDIC Fab Lab and Professional Workshop and provided suggestions for improvement of 3D Printing processes.
