I work as a data scientist, manager, and strategist at the MOH Office for Healthcare Transformation (MOHT) in Singapore, where I work on a portfolio of projects at the intersection of AI and mental health. I also remain affiliated with the University of Cambridge as a Visiting Scientist.

I completed my PhD in the Adaptive Brain Lab at the University of Cambridge’s Department of Psychology, under the supervision of Zoe Kourtzi and Mark van der Wilk. Here, I worked on AI for Brain Science and Mental Health and computational cognitive neuroscience approaches to learning and decision making. Prior to that I helped establish a machine learning team at Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong. During my MPhil, supervised by Pascale Fung, I worked on several projects related to affective computing. I worked with Genta Indra Winata on a virtual therapist self-help platform. We modelled user affect state with deep learning methods to construct emotionally intelligent dialogue.
