Dr Malik was a PhD candidate from the school of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology at NTU. His research was on developing a high-performance Raman spectrometer using the less explored Raman excitation spectroscopy technique. This improved spectrometer essentially flips the operation of the excitation and detection modules for greater flexibility and optimization on both sides compared to conventional systems. Apart from his PhD journey, he also talks about his time as a host of this podcast and his interest with rock-climbing and generally staying fit.
Dr. Chan Wen Kiat is a PhD graduate from the School of Chemistry, Chemical and Biotechnology Engineering (CCEB). Dive deep into his groundbreaking research on perovskite superstructures and heterostructures for enhanced optical performance. Discover how his innovative work on hybrid perovskite materials and LnNP@perovskite heterostructures is paving the way for the next generation of high-efficiency solar cells and display technologies. Plus, get a glimpse into Dr. Wen Kiat's personal journey and perspective on the technology translation journey. Tune in for an episode that blends cutting-edge science with an inspiring personal narrative – it's one you won't want to miss!
Pak Hui Ying is a PhD candidate from the Nanyang Environment & Water Research Institute (NEWRI), which is part of the Interdisciplinary Graduate Programme. With prior experience in water monitoring, her current research work delves on water turbidity monitoring using hyperspectral imagers mounted on drones. She discusses with us the practical issues of conducting field experiments in large water bodies, a necessary part of her prior and current research works. She also talks about several other topics including the sharing of research data to the public, “mental” blocks where new research ideas are difficult to materialize and methods to maintain work-life balance.
