Data science undergraduate at the University of Melbourne, working on statistical methods for omics data — and building education ventures across Singapore.

About

Statistics, taught and applied.

I’m in the penultimate year of a Bachelor of Science (Data Science) at the University of Melbourne, and an undergraduate researcher at Melbourne Integrative Genomics, where I work on how gene-list size shapes Gene Ontology enrichment analysis.

Before university I completed an Advanced Diploma in Data Analytics and Machine Learning at SMU Academy and a Diploma in Engineering with Business at Nanyang Polytechnic. Alongside study I’ve spent four years teaching, running academic operations, and automating administrative work — including a Director’s Award for performance during national service with the Singapore Police Force.
