About Me

Image

I am a doctorate graduate from Monash University. Currently, I am working as a Research Fellow in Singapore University of Technology and Design. My research uses advanced computational methods such as density functional theory supplemented by machine learning to simulate and predict the transient surface catalytic reaction - in particular solar-driven catalysis. My works have been conducted in conjunction with experimentalists from round the globe, please see here for a detailed list of publications.
