Researcher in PIPS (Pharma Innovation Program Singapore), a $1.8 million dollar program featuring collaborations between CARES, A*STAR, Pfizer, Merck, GSK and Syngenta aiming to develop multi-step processes in pharma based on advances in process systems engineering and machine learning.Leading development of a cheminformatics python tool that can aid process development by predicting impurities of single and multi-step reactions via data mining of large commercial chemical databases

Singapore

Designed a report laying out the foundation for a leak predictor tool identifying important factors, data sets and trends, accelerating progress towards safer petrochemical plant operation. Conducted statistical data analysis using Excel to verify findings.Collaborated with different stakeholders such as Corrosion Engineers, Operations Engineers, and Risk-Based Inspection Engineers to better understand corrosion-related mechanisms, to produce report aboveSpearheaded translation of a face-to-face Management of Change (MoC) course to an online platform by designing an interactive slidepack of 90 slides with recorded voice-overs and scripting, allowing trainees to learn at their own pace

Singapore

Worked on a modelling tool that analyses and represents the multi-dimensional real-time impact of ‘what-if’ scenarios on Jurong Island with respect to CO2 emissions, energy requirements and other factorsConducted research on more than 20 plants on Jurong Island to understand petrochemical industry dynamicsSpearheaded the process simulation of two petrochemical plants on Jurong Island using simulation software such as Aspen HYSYS, gaining exposure to process simulation and design Collaborated with another intern to write code using Java automating conversion of simulation data into a universally machine-readable format, reducing a task taking a week to a few minutes.Gained exposure to the potential of IOT, Industry 4.0 and the Semantic Web in the Chemical industry
