Professional Experience

SUTD-MIT International Design Centre

Design Engineer Dec 2017 to present

As a design engineer, I am currently working on aircraft design research and scaled engineering projects. In

my expertise are research scope and goals, investigation procedure, execution plan, prototyping planning,

study plan and analysis. I also assisted in Design Innovation (DI) workshops for engineering and architecture

professionals (6 sessions 50-90 participants); designed and successfully tested a scaled aerospace design

project (low fidelity) among engineering and prospective students from 12 South East Asian countries (3

sessions 5-48 participants); co-lead the development of the online educational modules of design thinking

techniques at www.dimodules.com; created and delivered tokens of appreciation for industry partners for

a networking event (8 designs from a scratch with 7 weeks – laser cutting, CAD, 3D printing).
