Transport Research Centre @ Nanyang Technological University (TRC@NTU)
Research Associate
A collaborative research study between Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Land Transport Authority (LTA), Singapore. Aimed to make walking, cycling, and using public transport a preferred choice.
A design thinking approach was adopted to understand users’ (pedestrians and cyclists) perception and behaviour towards walking and cycling. Through qualitative and quantitative measurements, infrastructure improvements and guidelines were proposed to encourage a car-lite society (Singapore’s Vision 2030).

Lanco Infratech Ltd.
Civil Engineer
Gained hands-on experience in construction management with India’s then largest private power provider, Lanco Infratech Ltd. which exposed me to varied stages of an industrial project. I worked with functionally diverse teams spanning from site execution, planning, design and knowledge management which has helped me develop resource management, time management and people skills. This rich experience prepares me to mould in a dynamic environment and equips me with the outlook to analyse scenarios beyond an engineer’s perspective.
