As a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), I conduct transdisciplinary research that connects digital twins, AI reasoning, systems engineering, and human-centric design to enhance disruption recovery in supply chain and manufacturing systems. My work focuses on human–AI–machine collaboration, explainable decision support, and adaptive systems to strengthen complex industrial ecosystems.

I received my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, where I explored the transformative capabilities of digital twins, and an M.Sc. in Systems Design from Chiba University, Japan. Prior to MIT, I served as a Senior Research Engineer at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore, leading projects on digitalization and system resilience.

My research has been recognized through Best Paper Awards, Case Competitions, and publications in leading international journals. I also contribute actively to the academic community through conference leadership, student mentoring, and as a Board Member of the International Society for Transdisciplinary Engineering (ISTE).
