I am a materials physicist and a Royal Society University Research Fellow. My research ambition is to find the 'Silicon of tomorrow'.
I work with a passionate group of researchers to design quantum materials that could enable ultra-fast, energy-efficient functionalities. Our research sits at the nexus of quantum materials engineering, nanomagnetism, spintronics, and X-ray and optical spectro-microscopy techniques. In the long run, we aim to assemble these functions to build next-gen computing and communication hardware.
I am also passionate about making science education fun and engaging by using an experiential pedagogy. I am currently a Fellow of The Queen's College. Previously, I have worked with the Ministry of Education (Singapore) to develop novel tools for science education. I am also an advisor and a volunteer science faculty of the educational non-profit - Raising a Mathematician Foundation.
