Why did you choose to do a PhD?
A phd at a mature stage in life was more about self-fulfillment than anything else. I’d still do it b’se it was a journey of growth, of discovery, and a new life.
Why did you choose to do graduate education at NUS? If you received offers from other universities, why did you pick NUS?
I have come to appreciate the infrastructure, the opportunity, the space, and freedom that NUS offered to explore what I wanted and to chart my own course as a student and a researcher. That I look back to as invaluable!

On hindsight, would you have chosen the same research supervisor for your graduate programme?
I found a very nurturing and supportive supervisor as well as ‘home department’ in SASP. That made all the difference to the continuation and completion of my degree.
