About

I am currently working as a Postdoctoral Associate in Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research & Technology Centre. I focuses on real-time monitoring and modelling of water qualities using multiple-robotic system. Before this, I worked as a Research Engineer in Singapore Institute of Technology for 10 months. I obtained my PhD degree from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. I have more than 4 years’ experience of numerical modelling and experimental study of flow control device. I am skilled in data mining process of image batch, 3D & 2D flow fields and also proficient in using CFD package and C & C++ language. I am also experienced in design of mechatronic system.
