The Journey So Far

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the College of Design and Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS). I am a founding member of the Satellite Technology and Research Centre (STAR), a joint laboratory between NUS and DSO National Laboratories, and currently serves as its Deputy Director. Prior to joining NUS, I was a Research Engineer at the Satellite Research Centre (SaRC), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, from 2013 to 2017.

I earned my B.Eng. in Aerospace Engineering and M.Eng. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from NTU in 2013 and 2017, respectively, and earned my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from NUS in 2023, focusing on satellite attitude determination and control.

My research centres on guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) for space autonomy, with particular emphasis on spacecraft attitude determination and control, space-based surveillance for space situational and domain awareness, and collision avoidance. I also conduct complementary research in small satellite systems, space robotics, space mechanisms, edge computing, and GNC verification and experimentation through hardware-in-the-loop testing. I was part of the SaRC team awarded the President’s Technology Award in 2016.
