Singapore

• Aquatic Biology Laboratory, Water Quality Laboratory, Water Quality Department
• Performing biological analyses of water samples from source to tap through morphological identification and enumeration of marine phytoplankton and freshwater zooplankton/micro-animals, chlorophyll-a analyses, algal.
• Facilitating in site investigations for midge control and water quality improvement
• Conducting R&D studies to explore and implement new effective technologies to improve operational efficiency
• Participating in quality audits, proficiency testing and cross-checks to ensure data integrity
• Managing laboratory inventory, procurement and contracts to optimize laboratory capabilities

Singapore

• St. John's Island National Marine Laboratory
• Project Title: Preliminary assessment of blue carbon stocks and macroinvertebrate communities of tropical intertidal seagrass meadows at St. John's and Lazarus Island, Singapore
• Mapped and surveyed seagrass meadows using transects, quadrats, handheld GPS and QGIS to measure seagrass extent and cover
• Sampled, sorted, dissected, imaged and morphologically identified seagrasses, macroinvertebrates and zooplankton using digital cameras and stereo and compound microscopes to elucidate abundance and diversity
• Extracted sediment cores using gouge auger for processing to quantify organic carbon content
• Collected seawater samples to assess water quality with Hach meters

Singapore

• St. John's Island National Marine Laboratory, Tropical Marine Science Institute, NUS
• Thesis Title: The potential use of polychaetes in sustainable aquaculture
• Sampled polychaete worms from urban marine environments by snorkeling
• Morphologically identified polychaetes to species level using taxonomic keys, dissection tools and imaging with compound and stereo microscopes
• Conducted feeding trials for mud crabs to elucidate preference for polychaetes
• Designed and built recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) for polychaete growth and survivorship experiments to determine suitability of fish culture waste as feed

Kep, Cambodia

• The Cambodian Marine Mammal Conservation Project
• Conducted land and boat surveys, monitoring the population status and behaviour of the threatened Irrawaddy dolphins, to improve the knowledge base for better implementation of species action plans
• Deployed hydrophone and aided in setup of C-POD for passive acoustic monitoring (PAM)
• Involved in on-the-ground conservation efforts and beach clean-ups

Singapore

• Project Title: Preliminary investigation of the coastal marine and intertidal soundscape at Bukit Chermin, Labrador, Singapore
• Documented marine biotic and abiotic sounds with a hydrophone and performed acoustic analyses using Raven Lite
• Developed skills in planning and execution, literature review, presentation and research writing

Nova Scotia, Canada

• Northern Bottlenose Whale Project, Whitehead Lab, Department of Biology
• Analysed acoustic recordings for the visual validation of the presence of Northern bottlenose whale clicks detected using PAMlab

Singapore

• Experimental Marine Ecology Lab
• Assisted in a final year project investigating the effects of shading on seagrass productivity,including building and maintaining shading frames, and aiding in field surveys
• Sorted and measured seagrass morphological parameters to monitor growth

Singapore

• Team HABs (Harmful Algal Blooms)
• Aided in boat surveys, collecting seawater samples and monitoring water quality with a multiparameter probe
• Conducted nutrient chemical analyses using a spectrophotometer
• Cultured phytoplankton, performing cell counts with a compound microscope
