👦🏻 About
I am a lecturer at the Office of the President at the National University of Singapore. I am also a PhD candidate at the Department of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore. I am supervised by Assistant Professor Jane E at the palette lab.
👨🏻🔬 Research
I am interested in understanding the relationships between social identities, emotions, and creativity among marginalised populations, as well as whether and how technologies can be used to create safe spaces for these populations to collect, relate, create, and disseminate their work with the world.
