Why did you choose to do a PhD?
I would still do a PhD because I really wanted a research career in the biomedical field at that time. Even though I am not personally doing research anymore in my current job, my background is still helping me to speak with scientists and understand what they are doing.
Why did you choose to do graduate education at NUS? If you received offers from other universities, why did you pick NUS?
NUS was a really good choice for me. I wanted to continue staying in Singapore, and NUS had the best reputation and some of the best researchers in the country.
On hindsight, would you have chosen the same research supervisor for your graduate programme?
Yes, my PhD supervisor Markus was a great mentor and we still keep in contact till today. His field of expertise (lipidomics) was very interesting to me, and more importantly he supported me a lot during my time in NUS and even after I became a postdoc at a new university, I still spoke to him for career advice.
