Group Manager, Plasma Physics & Energy
Technical Lead, A*STAR Fusion Taskforce
Our group covers topics from developing fusion energy to simulating urban environments. I am also orchestrating A*STAR’s entry into fusion energy research. Current personal research efforts are primarily in radiofrequency and microwaves for burning plasmas, which spans diagnostics to heating and current drive.
I am chairperson of the Deployed Committee, A*STAR Scholar’s Network. We organise networking and career events for returning scholars, among other things.
DPhil in Theoretical Physics
B.A. (Hons) in Natural Sciences, Double First Class Honours
Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level
Specialist I (with Joel Yang)
I worked on novel structures for 2D and 3D colour printing near and at the diffraction limit.
Research Engineer (with Jason Png)
I worked in the plasmonics and photonics group, understanding and designing metasurfaces and nonlinear photonic waveguides. I also co-supervised three high school student interns.
Corporal
I was drafted into the military for two years. For the most part, I served in ground logistics at the Peace Prairie Detachment in Texas, a joint chinook detachment run by the Republic of Singapore Air Force and the Texas Army National Guard.
