About
I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow in the laboratory of Prof. David A. Weitz at Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, working on new methodologies for high-throughput multiplexed single-cell analysis and molecular diagnostics.
I was born in Shenzhen, China, and spent my formative years in Singapore. I received my Ph.D. in Chemistry from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2023. At MIT, I worked in the laboratory of Prof. Timothy M. Swager on novel functional carbon nanomaterials for applications in chemical sensing (health diagnostics, environmental monitoring, industrial safety, food safety) and catalysis (renewable energy, decarbonization, tunable & precise catalysis). I received my B.S. in Chemistry from California Institute of Technology in 2017. At Caltech, I worked in the laboratory of Prof. Robert H. Grubbs on the initiation kinetics of ruthenium-based olefin metathesis catalysts and new methodologies for organic and polymer chemistry. I have also worked at Genentech, Inc., Materia, Inc., and Institute of Materials Research and Engineering in Singapore.
