I’m studying Biomedical Sciences and BioBusiness at NTU, exploring technology through hands-on projects, and pursuing a future in medicine through the NTU–Duke-NUS Pathways to Medicine programme.
Before a scientific question or a new idea, there is someone's everyday life. I want to begin by listening: what matters to them, what gets in the way, and what could help?
01
UnderstandMake sense of what is happening.
02
AccessReach support that fits everyday life.
03
IndependenceKeep doing the things that matter.
Every conversation opens a question. Choose one to explore.
Justice+
Who gets a fair chance?
Ask who an idea could serve, whose perspective is missing, and who might be left behind.
Fair treatment without discrimination
Whose voices shape the decisions
How benefits and burdens are shared
Ethics+
What should we do, and who decides?
A possibility is also a responsibility. Make room for people’s values, choices, and the trade-offs they are willing to accept.
Meaningful consent and personal choice
Privacy and responsible use of information
Whose values guide difficult decisions
Technology+
What should technology actually solve?
Start with a person’s task, then ask whether a tool would make it simpler, clearer, or more useful.
A real need before a new feature
Reliability and understandable limitations
A useful option when technology is unavailable
Access+
Can people use it in everyday life?
An idea has to fit the circumstances of the people it is for. Explore the practical steps between a possibility and someone being able to use it.
Cost, time, and distance
Language, ability, and digital confidence
Support that fits daily routines
Trust+
What would make this trustworthy?
Ask what people need to understand, what they want to question, and who they can turn to when something goes wrong.
Clear explanations and honest uncertainty
Accountability when a decision causes harm
A way to ask questions and challenge decisions
Wellbeing+
Does this support a life that matters?
Look beyond a technical output to the routines, relationships, and choices people value.
Independence and personal priorities
The effort a new tool asks of someone
What a meaningful improvement looks like to them
↳A human need becomes a question worth exploring.
02 Science
Develop the science.
Biomedical Sciences at NTU grounds my questions in biology. Through URECA with LKCMedicine and the National Cancer Centre Singapore, I’m exploring genetic discrimination in insurance — where medicine, ethics, and policy meet.
01 / Drug discovery02 / Medtech deviceA pipette draws a sample from a small conical tube, lifts clear, and dispenses it into the larger laboratory vessel. The sequence continues from drug discovery to medtech devices: two ways to bring scientific ideas into the world.
↳From a question to evidence. From evidence to possibility.
03 Business
Make good ideas sustainable.
My BioBusiness studies connect scientific ideas with the systems that help them reach people. Next comes a planned Year 4 Semester 1 exchange at Copenhagen Business School, learning alongside Bioentrepreneurship master’s students.
A presenter shares an idea with a seated audience. The first slide, “An idea. A path to impact.”, follows Research, Development, and Access. It then changes to a technology slide showing AI, LLMs, Machine learning. Those connected ideas expand out of the board into the Technology chapter.
↳Share the idea. Connect the people and resources to build it.
04 Technology
Learn by building.
From websites and 3D design at Face AI to chatbot exploration with MOKneeTOR and a drone prototype called DreamCatcher, building gives me a way to test ideas and learn from people with different expertise.
AIRecognising biomedical patterns
LLMsNavigating scientific literature
Machine learningExploring biomedical data
↳Give the idea a form people can use.
05 Together
Different disciplines. People at the centre.
I’m working toward a future in medicine with an interdisciplinary mindset: understand the evidence, consider how an idea can last, and build something people can use.
Three perspectives. Explore what I bring to each.
↳Every perspective returns to the person it could help.
Science & medicine
Biomedical Sciences at NTU, URECA research on genetic discrimination, and the NTU–Duke-NUS Pathways to Medicine programme connect scientific questions with people’s lives.
BioBusiness studies and financial and business work with HAVOC help me connect people, resources, and decisions. My planned CBS exchange will deepen the bioentrepreneurship side.
I learn by making websites, 3D models, manuals, chatbots, and prototypes. Face AI, MOKneeTOR, Sortify, and DreamCatcher have brought that curiosity into team projects.
Begin with people. Develop the science, explore how business can sustain an idea, and discover what technology can make possible. I want to connect these perspectives, always returning to the people an idea could help.
