I did my PhD under the supervision of Prof. Ren Hongliang at the Medical Mechatronics Lab (MMLAB), at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, National University of Singapore, where I also did a double degree Bachelors in Biomedical Engineering and Economics. 

For my PhD, I focus on the design, fabrication and integration of reconfigurable foldable mechanisms with sensors and untethered actuation. My current research topics include:

• Foldable mechanisms - Applying folding techniques and concepts inspired from origami in the design of compliant mechanisms

• Magnetic actuation - Integrating magnetic actuation with the fabricated mechanisms for potential untethered operations (shape-morphing for locomotion and specific tasks) in confined biomedical spaces (e.g. the gastrointestinal tract).

• Stretchable electronics - Applying structural engineering techniques such as kirigami, wrinkling and buckling concepts in the design and fabrication of compliant and stretchable electronics such as strain and pressure sensors.
