Alric YEOW

Honours student

In my final year of pursuing a Diploma in Veterinary Bioscience at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, I was presented with the wonderful opportunity to go on an overseas internship at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, located in Saint Kitts and Nevis. While I was there, I worked on a marine research project which involved the identification and description of novel parasites of fishes in the Caribbean. Not only did the project allow me to go up close with marine organisms in their natural habitats, but it also gave me the chance to truly experience the beauty of the marine world. In no time at all, my interest in marine ecology blossomed. Since then, I have embarked on my undergraduate journey in NUS, where I have continued to dive deeper into the marine sphere through relevant modules and field trips. Currently, I am undertaking my FYP in EMEL, and I am exploring the effects of manipulated microhabitat complexity of artificial reefs on marine biodiversity.
