Why did you choose to do a PhD?

My PhD days in NUS were among the best time of my life.


Why did you choose to do graduate education at NUS? If you received offers from other universities, why did you pick NUS?

The research work during the PhD days laid the foundation for the development of the proprietary and patented technology platform in MIRXES. More importantly, I got to know a great many like-minded PhD students that formed the core team in MIRXES.

On hindsight, would you have chosen the same research supervisor for your graduate programme?

Absolutely. Prof Too is the toughest yet the most inspiring and caring supervisor I know.
