Analysed telescope images and time series data of the Sun to derive valuable insights into its influence on the Earth’s climate, including its potential role in global warming. Employed multivariate and non-linear regression techniques to uncover the intricate and often non-obvious relationship between various parameters, and finite impulse response filters to model the long-term effects of transient events in time series data.Employed a range of data analysis, data science and theoretical approaches to develop, optimise and verify predictive time series models of solar brightness. These models are a fundamental component of the climate simulations informing the UN IPCC assessment of climate change. By applying orthogonal distance regression, I identified and rectified a critical flaw in a widely used solar brightness model that relies on standard linear regression.Awarded the 2018 SCOSTEP Distinguished Young Scientist Award by the International Science Council in recognition of outstanding scientific achievements.Regularly published research in prestigious international scientific journals (see portfolio) and effectively communicated findings to both the scientific community at international conferences and the general public through outreach events.Collaborated within cross-functional teams and actively fostered partnerships with international research collaborators spanning Europe, the US and China.Mentored and guided Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD students in their academic pursuits.

Developed machine learning algorithms tailored to the operational demands of the Singapore Armed Forces. Notably, I implemented a data pipeline that integrates dimensionality reduction, clustering and anomaly detection techniques to enable the near real-time detection of anomalous objects in hyperspectral imagery.Led the planning and execution of rigorous field trials to validate these algorithms in real-world operational environments.Advanced the implementation of these algorithms by diligently documenting and effectively communicating their capabilities to internal and military stakeholders.
