I grew up in Singapore but moved to Shanghai when I was 15, because my father was posted there for work. Every day on my way to school, I saw black smoke spewing from cars and chimneys. It made me very aware of the need to develop society without sacrificing the future of our planet.

I guide research themes that enable manufacturing companies to be more sustainable.

Companies have so many different needs.

We try to focus on providing good data to guide their decisions.

I am most proud of developing a sustainability workshop for my company, which gave me a chance to engage with colleagues from different teams.
