As an undergrad, I studied the taxonomy of assassin bugs (Reduviidae) for a UROPs project and researched the occurrence and distribution of the widely introduced reduviid Zelus renardii for my honours project (FYP) (papers in prep). I did my FYP with the FIB lab which expanded my knowledge and interest in freshwater ecology research.

I’m currently a research assistant in a project investigating the trophic interactions of aquatic communities in Singapore’s reservoirs, and continue to research reduviid taxonomy at the Lee Kong Chian Museum of Natural History in my free time.
